[Semediawiki-user] data privacy issue

[Basil E. <b_...@gm...>]

Hello,

within the project SMW-CorA [1] we are developing an SMW-based virtual
research environment targeting researchers doing qualitative analysis.
Here we are having a data privacy issue and we are yet
undecided how to deal with it.

In one use case researchers analyze videos of children in their class at
school. Privacy constraints are highly relevant here. Usually these
videos are stored on external storage such as an USB drive, may not be
copied and are password protected.

Would it be possible to link from within the wiki to these files stored
on such an external drive? Then only while a researcher has that drive
mounted to the local machine these videos can be accessed. But then these
drives always need to be mounted to the same path.

I am curious if anyone of you has realized a similar use case or sees
another option how to deal with this issue?

Best regards,

Basil
