CINECA: Report on trust model for partner sites, and between sites and controlled-access researchers

In this deliverable document, we report on the activities for Deliverable 4.1 - Report on trust model for partner sites, and between sites and controlled-access researchers. The Work Package 4 goals concern the development of a set of tools that can facilitate federated analyses of new and diverse genetic and genomic datasets, based on specific use cases. The tools selected will be using the common federated infrastructure established in earlier work packages, and the datasets will be described with metadata standards identified in Work Package 3. In our report we considered trust as the extent to which one party is willing to depend on the other party in a given situation with a feeling of relative security, even though negative consequences are possible. This work has contributed towards establishing a description of the trust model and four different levels of data access concerning specific cohort’s data, identifying use cases for the development of federated analysis workflows and describing existing data access models to inspire subsequent WP4 deliverables related to the implementation of the federated analysis workflow
