N2 - ABSTRACT
For public organizations data integration and sharing are
important in delivering better services. However, when sensitive
data are integrated and shared, privacy protection and information
security become key issues. This means that information systems
must be secured and that access to sensitive data must be
controlled. In this paper, a framework is presented to support data
sharing between public organizations for collaboration purposes.
The framework focuses on solutions towards optimal data sharing
and integration while ensuring the security and privacy of
individuals. Data sharing is based on the need-to-know principle,
that is, data are only made available when they are required to
perform core processes. To facilitate this, an approach is
introduced in the form of a trusted third party that manages access
control to personal information and thus helps to protect the
privacy of individuals. It is argued that the proposed framework is
suitable for data integration and sharing on various levels. An
example of best practices of data sharing in the Netherlands shows
how this framework facilitates data sharing to perform knowledge
transfer and other higher-level tasks.
