2024 June - 20 articles

Cover Story: This paper presents the Shareable Data Publishing and Access Service for Living Labs, implemented within the framework of the H2020 VITALISE project. The service enables Living Labs to securely publish collected data in an internal and isolated node for external use. External researchers can then access a portal to discover and download shareable data versions derived from the data stored across different Living Labs that they can use to develop, test, and debug their processing scripts locally, adhering to legal and ethical data handling practices. Subsequently, they may request remote execution of the same algorithms against the real internal data in Living Lab nodes, comparing the outcomes with those obtained using shareable data.
