    RAISE
    RAISE aims at promoting a transparent way of sharing and processing data, enabling the research community to publish their work with evidence-based authenticity of the dataanalysis performed, ensuring at the same time the accreditation of their work. It provides the infrastructure for a distributed crowdsourced data processing system, moving from open data to open access data for processing, and a mechanism for sending the algorithm to the dataset instead of sending the data to the algorithm.
