Gastwissenschaftsarbeitsplätze (GWAP)
Guideline
Konsort SWD (RDCnet)
course language (german)
Research data centres that wish provide sensitive microdata must implement guest research workstations (GWAP) for this purpose. Such workstations are protected according to defined security criteria and are located in a controlled and secure environment in order to fulfil the data protection requirements for personal data.
As part of RDCnet, a technical manual was developed for this purpose, which describes and presents a reference system for using a thin client as a GWAP. This manual serves as a guideline for the IT staff of an RDC and can help to efficiently implement the technical concept of a GWAP.
