Executive Summary

The Objective of WP9 “Employability and Healthcare Demonstrators” is to prove the generic applicability of the TAS3 trust infrastructure for exchanging and managing personal information in different domains, in particular in the areas of employability and healthcare.

Employability is a domain in which electronic data exchange has been uncommon in the past, but this is changing rapidly. Today, the amount of personal information dealt with, and therefore the associated data protection issues, is increasing. Where a CV used to contain only some vague and often unsubstantiated references to long past school education, today it is filled with detailed information about personal competences and experiences acquired both on and outside the job. The growing use of learner-owned ePortfolios, rather than static CVs, is enabling individuals to make substantiated claims backed up by examples of evidence drawn from a number of different sources. These portfolio applications are increasingly used in formal education and their role in lifelong learning is more and more recognised.

Electronic information exchange in healthcare has a longer history; additionally healthcare is a reference domain for privacy and security issues. Confidentiality has been a hot topic since day one (i.e. not only within health ICT), as it is beyond any doubt that medical information is very prone to abuse (not in the least by employers, which in turn has implications for the employability domain).

The e-health advancements and the security and privacy concerns, make healthcare a perfect test ground for TAS3 (“If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere…”). Deployment of TAS3 within the healthcare domain will be a tough benchmarking exercise. TAS3 should not only meet all requirements of the domain with the most difficult privacy requirements, it should also outperform existing solutions.

Employability is a more virgin area, where a new satisfying solution for securely managing the exchange of personal information has a high chance of wide adoption, which makes it a perfect domain for testing TAS3 scalability.

This deliverable is the first step towards defining pilots for the demonstration of the TAS3 trust infrastructure. From the real life stories of Caren, Dirk, Pieter and Anwar, concise use cases which are representative for the healthcare and employability domain have been extracted. These serve as a base to define minimum security and privacy requirements for an information exchange and management platform in those domains. Throughout this document four major demands are identified, which TAS3 will need to provide for its users in order to be successful:
• “Trust in information”
• “Trust in the system”
• “Trust in the other parties” (users and service providers)
• Full end‐user control over information

In the final section of this deliverable a first step towards demonstrating TAS3 (WP9 goal) has been made by mapping the selected use cases on to the real world and legacy systems (participating organisations and persons, available software, available data …).

In the second iteration of this deliverable the focus will shift more towards implementation and deployment and the elaboration of more complex scenarios. A further deliverable (D9.2) will deal with evaluation.
