Call
Summary
The objective of this call, is to carry out the preparatory work needed for the creation of high-quality large-scale shareable data sets for innovation, including work on interoperability e.g. through standardisation and privacy e.g. through anonymization. The work undertaken should be based on identified operational use cases (i.e. types of applications that will use the data).
Detailed Call Description
Proposals are encouraged to refer to the relevant activities conducted by EU agencies notably Europol and EU-LISA as well as relevant EU associations such as the EACTDA (the European Anti-Cybercrime Technology Development Association).
Preparatory work shall include some of the following elements:
- Mapping of the families of datasets relevant to innovation in the field of security (e.g. photos, videos, voices samples, unstructured text (e.g. forums), unstructured hybrid data (e.g. web scraping or emails), structured data (e.g. telecommunication signalisation data), etc.
- Analysis of technologies that would allow the sharing of operational data, including but not limited to data anonymisation and generation of synthetic data sets, as a possible solution in cases of legal restrictions on collection and sharing of law enforcement datasets (e.g. need for additional consent to allow new processing of data for the purposes of innovation).
- Analysis and definition of requirements for tools for classification and annotation of data sets, including mapping of existing solutions.
- Analysis and definition of requirements for tools for data quality assessment (see page 6)
