The RAISE Portal
RAISE–Suite builds a trustful and transparent environment (RAISE research ecosystem) where research communities can share and process data as conveniently as possible to reduce time-to-result and increase productivity.
RAISE-Suite introduces the RAISE Portal, which includes the Research Analysis Identifier (RAI) and other services that will support trustworthy research and data analysis services based on crowdsourced distributed resources along with local resources.
But how does the RAISE Portal work?
A) Researchers make their data available to the research community via the RAISE Portal, which will serve as a research ecosystem. Researchers can upload their data on their own or any other RAI Certified Node, a trustworthy crowdsourced network offering data storing and processing resources.
B) Any researcher can look for datasets that meet their needs for their given research question and projects. The RAI Finder Service enables them to find and access registered experiment results including the dataset and the processing algorithm’s information, or even the actual assets if the researcher has opt-in for open experiment sharing. resources.
C) The RAI Synthetic Data Generator allows the researchers to develop processing scripts by getting access to sample, small scale datasets or synthetic data which mock real data in order to protect any sensitive or personal data.
D) The scripts/algorithms are uploaded. Researchers can load processing algorithms which will run on the remotely hosted datasets, running the algorithm without allowing the researcher to download or access them directly.
E) The scripts and dataset pair are registered and receive the Research Analysis Identifier (RAI) persistent identifier (PID). When the requested experiment computation is completed, the RAI Certified Node registers the results to a blockchain network through the RAI Registration Service, receiving a RAI as the outcome of the registration process.
F) The results of the registration process are published and available. The RAI Central Hub will be the intermediate interface of the RAISE-Suite system and the network of the distributed Certified Nodes with the users. Any request arriving to the RAI Central Hub for processing a dataset or getting access to a sample synthetic dataset, will be addressed by the RAI Central Hub to the corresponding Certified Node.
G) Any researcher can validate the results through the RAISE Portal, which enables experiment results authenticity and veracity validation. The dataset plagiarism identification and dataset proof-of-origin services add an extra layer of security by identifying similar datasets (plagiarism).
H) The scripts/algorithms can be used on different datasets and contexts, such as scientific publication, patent submission or industrial IP, contract negotiation etc. to compare results.
I) The datasets are now available in RAI Cloud to be shared and processed efficiently by the research communities interested as conveniently as possible to reduce time-to-result and increase productivity.
