Platform for Data Management

2023-08-20T20:58:03Z

KNOW:

[https://www.know-center.at/en/ Know-Center] Data Management Platform ('''KDP''') will form the central data access point for the [https://ediaqi.eu/ EDIAQI] project and will be continually enhanced and expanded as the project advances. The '''KDP''' is designed to provide a secure, scalable, and robust system for managing and sharing data. It is built on the [https://irods.org/ iRODS] data management system for distributed and replicated storage. [https://metalnx.github.io/ Metalnx] is used as the graphical user interface for an intuitive and user-friendly sharing and searching of data. The project team at Know-Center developed the '''KDP''' with the [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR principles]] in mind and a strong focus on reproducible research.

=== Platform Architecture ===
The design of the platform allows the handling of two different functionalities:

# '''Data Discovery & Management''' - Handles the organization and storage of data
# '''Data Analytics''' – Focuses on extracting insights and trends from data

Both functionalities allow the '''KDP''' to be a powerful and user-friendly data management and analytics platform that utilizes many different components. Its robust features provide researchers with an efficient and secure way to manage and analyse their data while also facilitating collaboration and discovery.

==== 1. Data Discovery & Management ====
The heart of the '''KDP''' is the '''iRODS''' data management system that provides a unified interface for accessing, managing, and sharing data. '''iRODS''' consists of two different server components - data catalog which contains information about the file names, locations and permissions, and catalog consumer which retrieves metadata about data objects and collections from the catalog provider. Despite consisting of multiple servers, the platform appears as a single virtual file system to users.

To provide a user-friendly interface for data management tasks, the platform uses '''Metalnx''' as the graphical user interface. Users can upload, download, and share data, as well as set permissions and manage metadata. '''Metalnx''' is highly customizable with the ability to add custom metadata fields and workflows to fit the specific needs of the platform.

[[wikipedia:Elasticsearch|Elasticsearch]] is used for data discovery, enabling users to easily search and browse data collections based on metadata and other attributes. This ensures that users can quickly find and access the data they need to support their research. The authentication system is powered by [[wikipedia:Keycloak|Keycloak]] to ensure secure access to the '''KDP'''. It is common for each data discovery and management component to utilize a [[wikipedia:PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL]] database for storing information such as user accounts, metadata on data collections and configs.

==== 2. Data Analytics ====
The analytics part of the platform exposes [https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ JupyterHub] or [https://zeppelin.apache.org/ Apache Zeppelin] (depending on the required programming languages) to support collaboration and data analysis. '''JupyterHub''' is a web-based platform with a shared environment for running Jupyter notebooks. The platform allows partners and researchers to analyze and work with shared data, promoting collaboration and efficiency. Results and findings can then be easily shared among team members and beyond. On the other hand, '''Apache Zeppelin''' has a stronger focus on data analytics with built-in support for data sources such as [[wikipedia:Apache_Spark|Apache Spark]], [[wikipedia:SQL|SQL]] databases and [[wikipedia:NoSQL|NoSQL]] databases.

'''EDIAQI''' partners that prefer to keep the data on their server have the option to setup an own '''iRODS''' zone and utilize secure federation with the '''KDP'''. The '''iRODS''' provider of the '''KDP''' then accepts the partner server as an additional '''iRODS''' consumer. This option enables secure sharing and accessing of data across multiple '''iRODS''' zones as if they were part of a single virtual file system. Authentication and authorization protocols ensure that data is only accessible to authorized users within their respective zones, maintaining control over access and security.

'''JupyterHub''' is a web-based platform with a shared environment for running Jupyter notebooks. The platform allows partners and researchers to analyze and work with shared data, promoting collaboration and efficiency. Results and findings can then be easily shared among team members and beyond. On the other hand, '''Apache Zeppelin''' has a stronger focus on data analytics with built-in support for data sources such as [[wikipedia:Apache_Spark|Apache Spark]], [[wikipedia:SQL|SQL]] databases and [[wikipedia:NoSQL|NoSQL]] databases.

'''EDIAQI''' partners that prefer to keep the data on their server have the option to setup an own '''iRODS''' zone and utilize secure federation with the '''KDP'''. The '''iRODS''' provider of the '''KDP''' then accepts the partner server as an additional '''iRODS''' consumer. This option enables secure sharing and accessing of data across multiple '''iRODS''' zones as if they were part of a single virtual file system. Authentication and authorization protocols ensure that data is only accessible to authorized users within their respective zones, maintaining control over access and security.

[https://ediaqi.eu/ EDIAQI] project has started to conduct indoor air quality studies/pilots in several European cities, gather the data on the Know Data Platform (KDP) and share data on the [https://ipchem.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ IPCHEM Portal] and within the [https://www.idealcluster.eu/ IDEAL cluster]. As part of the [[wikipedia:European_Commission|European Commission’s]] goal to advance [[wikipedia:Open_science|Open Science]] policy and practices – it is a mandatory component in [[wikipedia:Horizon_Europe|Horizon Europe]] that all projects involving data include a [[wikipedia:Data_management_plan|data management plan ('''DMP''')]]. Once a project is selected for funding an extensive '''DMP''' must be provided as a deliverable within 6 months from the project’s official launch. The plan is expected to be updated and adjusted regularly, in line with the progress of the project.

The '''DMP''' outlines the ways in which data is collected, generated and/or processed throughout the lifespan of a research project. It comprises these data sharing activities and is based on the [https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/temp-form/report/data-management-plan_he_en.docx Horizon Europe Data Management template] and therefore also comprises the devised crucial data management sections to be developed and discussed within the '''EDIAQI''' project team, some of which are data summary, [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR data]], other research outputs, [[wikipedia:Resource_allocation|allocation of resources]], [[wikipedia:Data_security|data security]], [[wikipedia:Big_data_ethics|ethics]], and other issues. The '''DMP''' is defined and implemented to ensure a high level of [[wikipedia:Data_quality|data quality]] and accessibility for final users and stakeholders, and to allow the application of data analytics techniques. This task is also responsible for the detection and assessment of the knowledge generated by the consortium. The plan outlines the measures that will be taken to maximize access and re-use of the data for further purposes and applications. Whenever personal data are being processed, compliance and security are important. In the cases where the datasets cannot be publicly shared, the reasons will be mentioned in their metadata descriptions (ethical, rules of personal data, intellectual property, commercial, privacy-related, security-related). As such, it is important to draw up a '''DMP''' that fits the specific characteristics of '''EDIAQI'''.

[[wikipedia:Data_acquisition|Data acquisition]] within '''EDIAQI''' is carried out on 3 levels:

i) Sensor (top) represents the conceptual layer where [[wikipedia:Internet_of_things|IoT (Internet of Things)]] and sensor equipment are provided

ii) Integration (middle) is the conceptual layer of the infrastructure where data must be harmonized to fit a common analytics and processing model. As a result, it will be possible to share all the data collected at pilots through web services based on common standards (WP4)

iii) Presentation (bottom) is the final conceptual layer of the infrastructure where harmonized data will be made visible and accessible through maps, tables, and diagrams.
