In order to deliver a well-functioning open industrial virtual data platform that will facilitate the exchange and connection of data between different food safety actors who are interested in sharing information critical to certification as specified in “The Food Safety Market” project (TheFSM) granted in the EU H2020 programme, extensive piloting is required. Detailed pilot plans are presented and discussed in Deliverable 6.1 and 6.2. The testing of the applications performed in the pilots will be iterative and improvements can be made after each round. This deliverable (D6.3) presents the recommendations for improvements on the pilot methodology and consists of six sections. Since the piloting will start in 2021, at this time only recommendations can be made for improvements of the initial pilot plans and documents.
