Open data, as the name suggests, is data that can be accessed, used and shared by everyone. It is particularly important in research as it enables the integration and study of multiple data sources, leading to better-rounded results. Building on this premise, the EU-funded RAISE project aims to provide the mechanisms for a distributed crowdsourced data processing system, moving from open data to data open for processing. To do so, RAISE will attempt to adapt open data to the culture of the research community, ensuring FAIR principles, defined as findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability. Project work includes the delivery of a cloud platform to coordinate the data sourcing and sharing process as well as a synthetic data generator.
