Embodiments of the invention relate to the field of large-scale, multi-source data sharing. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to an infrastructure for facilitating data sharing and analysis across disparate data sources in a secure, distributed process.
Our world is a complex place. It is faced with many difficult, interdependent problems; some caused by nature, others caused by man. As individuals, families, communities, and nations, we face an ever changing and compounding series of perplexing challenges spanning numerous domains: defense, health, climate, food, cyber, energy, transportation, education, weather, the economy.
Compounding pressures in each of these areas threaten our health, our safety, our security, our livelihood, and our sustainability. We seek improved capabilities to detect, understand, mitigate, and prevent our brave new world of threats. To address these challenges, we invariably resort to science, our systematic enterprise for building and organizing knowledge that helps us understand, explain, and predict our world around us.
At the core of science is inquiry. We formulate questions. We generate hypotheses. We predict consequences. We experiment. We analyze. We evaluate. We repeat. Our problems are complex; the process is slow. Fueling the scientific process are the observations we make and the data we collect.
