The project assumes implementaion of integration of Databus with IPFS. Databus (https://databus.dbpedia.org) is a service which allows people (or systems) to search for or publish data (knowledge graphs) for further processing. In current version, Databus does not store the data itself, but keeps links to the data. The data itself must be stored by the publishers themselves. Not all the publishers would like to keep the data themselves as well as to support the infrastructure for that, and it is where IPFS (https://ipfs.io/#why) can help.
Integration of Databus with IPFS will allow publishers to publish the data in the IPFS, sparing the publishers from the need to maintain the infrastructure. On top of that, IPFS supports versioning of files, which makes it easier to publish new versions. For consumer that would also mean more reliability, because IPFS stores data in a distributed fashion without single point of failure.
