Deliverables

Documents, reports (6)

Report on CoC, logging/auditing (Initial)

Initial report on chain of custody logging and auditing functionalities requirements and guidelines for integration of components

UNCOVER Ethics and Privacy Handbook

This handbook will provide both the code of good practice and the ethical and privacy documentation requirements necessary for partners to carry out their activities

Dissemination and communication report (initial)

In three iterations an overview on the developed dissemination material and communication activities is reported ensuring an ongoing monitoring of activities and materials This deliverable is the first report The second report is foreseen at M24 The final update will be an official deliverable D811 delivered at M36

Data Management Plan (Intermediate)

This report provides the first update of the data management life cycle for the data collection generation exploitation processing and preservation

Legal requirements report

The legal requirements report of UNCOVER will be based on relevant international and national regulation It will contain an indepth analysis of European regulation and of the countries participating in the consortium in the field of criminal investigations through digital and technological methods

Data Management Plan (Initial)

This deliverable describes the data management life cycle for the data collection generation exploitation processing and preservation An internal update will be delivered to the consortium partners at M18 and a final official deliverable at M36

Open Research Data Pilot (1)
