How can e-infrastructures deal with the sensitive data challenge (Working Paper)

Sensitive personal data is data "revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, and (…) data concerning health or sex life". Therefore, data sharing for research purposes must be opened for human health data to address cross-discipline research and improve the well-being of humans. The EUDAT Sensitive Data Group was created to address the unsatisfactory condition of using sensitive data in data infrastructures, like EUDAT. During the EUDAT User Forum, 26-27 Sept. 2016 in Krakow, Poland, the first meeting of the EUDAT Sensitive Data Working Group took place addressing different requirements and possible solutions for the processing of sensitive data in e-infrastructures. This meeting went beyond the current solutions of EUDAT and to find possibilities for more comprehensive data services and solutions as part of the open data environment of current e-infrastructures. In the Working Paper the first results are shown.
