Objective
Capitalising on the foundations laid by LAGO and TESSERA, LAGOON aims to create, develop, deploy, and carry out extensive testing and evaluation (verification and validation) of a fully functional, operational, decentralised, and interoperable common security Research Data Repository (RDR). The repository will build upon the LAGO roadmap and the relevant governance, architecture, technological, legal, ethical, and organisational recommendations defined for the domain of FCT, and extend the LAGO skeleton and overall framework to encompass other security research domains, including BM, INFRA, and DRS, by thoroughly taking into account their inherent idiosyncrasies. The RDR will enable the secure and accurate gathering, storage, onboarding, management, access, searching, sharing, and preservation of verified, high-quality, realistic, up-to-date and sufficient training and testing data to support data sharing and reuse among and across all relevant actors and stakeholders in the security research and innovation community (EU security research projects during and beyond their lifecycle, security practitioners, researchers/academia, industry, SMEs, CSOs/NGOs, policy makers, EU agencies, etc.). To ensure the long-term viability and operationalisation of the RDR beyond the project’s lifecycle, LAGOON will also develop a robust exploitation and sustainability plan, while enabling future interoperability with EU data infrastructures, including EOSC and Data Space Initiatives. With 12 partners with extensive experience in FCT, BM, INFRA, and DRS EU projects, including nine key partners from LAGO and three key partners from TESSERA, as well as security practitioners collectively bringing together a strong representation of the challenges, technologies, and expertise across all security domains of interest, LAGOON is uniquely positioned to achieve its objectives and deliver an operational common security RDR.
