1. B2SAFE Data Policy Manager Maria Francesca Iozzi (SIGMA/University of Oslo) 2 nd EUDAT Conference Date : 27 October 2013

2. Objectives 2 –allow a Community Manager (CM) to specify data management policies –allow a Community Manager (CM) to manage those policies via a web-portal

3. Replication 3 CM wants to specify the type of replication, the replica sites and how often data shall be replicated Replication from A to B and from B to C Replication from A to B and from A to C 789/abc 29db...279b4a 1839/abc 29db...279b4a 456/abc 29db...279b4a 1.10.13 02:00 1.10.13 00:00

4. Integrity 4 789/abc 29db...279b4a 1839/abc 29db...279b4a Checksum recalculation on the physical file 456/abc 29db...279b4a 1.10.13 02:005.10.13 05:00 1.10.13 00:00 CM wants to specify the periodicity of integrity checking

5. Data Policy Manager Portal 5 By using the portal the CM can: –Select policies (replication, integrity checking, retention, etc…) –Hand-pick the sites involved in the policy –Visualize the history of the issued policies on a searchable table The created policies are in an abstract way, i.e. independent from any technology or technology format (e.g. iRODS rules).

6. Data Policy Manager Architecture 6

7. Requirements − Authentication and authorization mechanism will be implemented to guarantee security. − Functionalities will be tailored on the basis of the Communities requirements. − More communities involved, more complex rules/policy- templates implemented. 7

8. Conclusions We are implementing a web-based portal to manage policies: −lightweight and easy to use tool −independent from any protocols −integrated with other EUDAT service (first and foremost with the B2SAFE service) 8

10. 10 Data Policy Manager Portal

11. Simple Replication, Replication from A to B and from A to C, Replication from A to B and from B to C,... How often should data be replicated Different protocols can be adopted (not only iRODS). CM can hand-pick the target sites 11 Data Policy Manager Portal
