摘要： In recent years, implementations enabling Distributed Analytics (DA) have gained considerable attention due to their ability to perform complex analysis tasks on decentralised data by bringing the analysis to the data. These concepts propose privacy-enhancing alternatives to data centralisation approaches, which have restricted applicability in case of sensitive data due to ethical, legal or social aspects. Nevertheless, the immanent problem of DA-enabling architectures is the black-box-alike behaviour of the highly distributed components originating from the lack of semantically enriched descriptions, particularly the absence of basic metadata for data sets or analysis tasks. To approach the mentioned problems, we propose a metadata schema for DA infrastructures, which provides a vocabulary to enrich the involved entities with descriptive semantics. We initially perform a requirement analysis with domain experts to reveal necessary metadata items, which represents the foundation of our schema. Afterwards, we transform the obtained domain expert knowledge into user stories and derive the most significant semantic content. In the final step, we enable machine-readability via RDF(S) and SHACL serialisations. We deploy our schema in a proof-of-concept monitoring dashboard to validate its contribution to the transparency of DA architectures. Additionally, we evaluate the schemas compliance with the FAIR principles. The evaluation shows that the schema succeeds in increasing transparency while being compliant with most of the FAIR principles. Because a common metadata model is critical for enhancing the compatibility between multiple DA infrastructures, our work lowers data access and analysis barriers. It represents an initial and infrastructure-independent foundation for the FAIRification of DA and the underlying scientific data management.

摘要： In recent years, as newer technologies have evolved around the healthcare ecosystem, more and more data have been generated. Advanced analytics could power the data collected from numerous sources, both from healthcare institutions, or generated by individuals themselves via apps and devices, and lead to innovations in treatment and diagnosis of diseases; improve the care given to the patient; and empower citizens to participate in the decision-making process regarding their own health and well-being. However, the sensitive nature of the health data prohibits healthcare organizations from sharing the data. The Personal Health Train (PHT) is a novel approach, aiming to establish a distributed data analytics infrastructure enabling the (re)use of distributed healthcare data, while data owners stay in control of their own data. The main principle of the PHT is that data remain in their original location, and analytical tasks visit data sources and execute the tasks. The PHT provides a distributed, flexible approach to use data in a network of participants, incorporating the FAIR principles. It facilitates the responsible use of sensitive and/or personal data by adopting international principles and regulations. This paper presents the concepts and main components of the PHT and demonstrates how it complies with FAIR principles.
