Abstract

The authors introduce a group-based discretionary access control with decentralized permission and group management for scientific repositories. Currently, access control approaches for repositories have inflexible centralized administrations, which do not scale well to large numbers of users. Moreover, discretionary access control is a legal standard for health-related resources. The proposed access control model, which is formalized using Barker's Unifying Meta-model, differentiates permissions for data and meta-data, enabling the sharing of meta-data while protecting sensitive data. The authors describe how the model was implemented, and what challenges were tackled, in the Epidemic Marketplace, an open software information platform for epidemic studies, designed to foster cooperative behavior and data sharing.
