A clear specification of which Partner will be responsible for hosting each component of PIMCity Platform will be detailed.

Design of tools for improved data management

This deliverable will provide the first complete design of the main components devoted to improving the data management

Report on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and societal impact

Report on the state of play regarding RRI findings and activities during the first year of the project, including the final version of the ethical requirements for human participation in research. (T7.3) To comply with the education requirement under RRI, a Visual Law Lab Workshop will be organized in M9 of the project, based on the first version of the privacy policy and informed consent forms drafted under D7.1, to improve accessibility, readability, accuracy and consistency, leading to the final version of these documents. This Deliverable will also report on the societal impact of the PIMCity project.

Design of data valuation tools and trading engine

This deliverable will provide the first complete design of the data valuation tools and the trading engine by taking into account the envisioned Marketplace (T3.1, T3.2, T3.3)

Legal requirements for the PIMCity platform and its components

It constitutes a mapping exercise of the legal requirements that are to form the foundation of the PIMCity platform, based on T7.2. It will be based on the GDPR and e-Privacy Directive/Regulation. Data protection and privacy elements that are likely to be challenging in light of the PIMCity project, will be identified. For example (i) Risks stemming from the large scale personal data processing for providing a privacy-preserving tool and trading personal data; (ii) The inevitable encounter with special categories of data; (iii) The presence of algorithms and automated- decision making; (iv) The transparency obligation in light of privacy policies and informed consent forms. This deliverable will be drafted simultaneously with D1.1 on the technical and user requirements specification. This way the project can build upon a comprehensive requirement definition from the outset, which should form the foundation for all further work carried out in light of the project.
