View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Sharing data across organizations is difficult due to varying database systems and privacy concerns. This study uses National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) tools, Next Generation Database Access Control (NDAC) and data block matrix, to overcome these obstacles.
Area Of Science
- Computer Science
- Information Security
- Database Management
Background
- Inter-organizational data sharing is hindered by heterogeneous database management systems (DBMSs) and differing data schemas.
- Ensuring data security and user privacy presents a significant challenge in data exchange scenarios.
Purpose Of The Study
- To present a novel approach for secure and efficient data sharing between organizations with disparate database systems.
- To demonstrate the utility of established National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) tools in addressing data integration and access control challenges.
Main Methods
- The study employs two NIST-developed tools: Next Generation Database Access Control (NDAC) for granular access management.
- Utilizes the data block matrix technique to standardize data representation and facilitate cross-system compatibility.
Main Results
- The proposed methodology effectively overcomes schema heterogeneity issues inherent in different DBMSs.
- Demonstrates enhanced data security and privacy preservation during inter-organizational data sharing.
Conclusions
- The integration of NDAC and data block matrix offers a robust solution for secure data sharing across diverse database environments.
- This approach facilitates seamless data exchange while upholding critical security and privacy standards.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...
Classification is the process of organizing organisms into hierarchically inclusive groups based on their phenotypic similarities or evolutionary relationships. A species comprises one or more strains, and closely related species are grouped into genera. Genera are further classified into families, families into orders, orders into classes, and so forth, up to the domain level, which is the broadest taxonomic rank derived from a combination of phenotypic and genotypic data.The nomenclature of...
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...
