Work Packages

HealthData@EU Pilot is divided into 9 work packages led by different partners. Work packages 1-4 are horizontal work packages aimed at coordinating, communicating and ensuring delivery. Work packages 5-9 are technical work packages that build and test the user journey.

Horizontal work packages

PACKAGE 01

Lead by Health Data Hub, WP1 provides and monitors the overall project coordination, project management, financial management, and risks and ethics management

Technical work packages

PACKAGE 06

Towards a common health Resource Description Framework (RDF) representation of metadata for interexchange between data portals

Led by Sciensano, WP6 focuses on standardising the descriptive metadata templates used to present and describe the available data collections in every node. The standard for this common descriptive metadata model is based on a health DCAT-AP extension designed in this WP.

PACKAGE 08

Lead by BBMRI-ERIC, WP8 deals with interoperability of actual data in different phases of HealthData@EU User Journey: from a study of different common data models, available terminologies and how to make data interoperability between nodes, to data exchange among HealthData@EU Nodes and ultimately data delivery to the researchers. It also deals with quality controlling and more generally quality assurance mechanisms that are to be implemented by the HealthData@EU Nodes. The subject of federated queries to obtain new metadata, such as aggregate availability data, is addressed through a feasibility study. WP8 has relations with respect to standards recommended and piloted by WP5 and WP6 and will closely work with WP7 on legal matters (aspects for standards, legal bases for data processing).

PACKAGE 09

Co-lead by the Health Data Hub and the Danish Health Data Authority, WP9 will coordinate the implementation of use cases chosen by the European Commission among consortium proposed use cases (building teams, project management, and allocation of resources). This WP will also ensure project management for the implementing common data model designed by WP8 on chosen data use cases and for filling up the HealthDCAT extension and metadata catalogue on selected use cases.

All details regarding HealthData@EU use cases are available here.
