    User roles

    The relevant employees in a research project must be created as users in DDP App. You have different options when using DDP App, depending on which user role your institution assigned to you. Below you can read which rights the different roles have. In DDP App, you can see your role under ‘My overview’ next to your institution. If a specific role has not been indicated, you are a ‘User’., There are seven different roles in DDP App:, Responsible for authorisation, Substitute, Administrator, Signatory, Contact person, Contact person with powers, User, Who can edit user information in DDP App?, The individual user can update his or her own user information in DDP App. This could be relevant, e.g. if a user changes workplace and therefore wants to update his or her email address. If an association agreement must be terminated, this must either be done by the user him- or herself, the institution administrator, the person responsible for authorisation or a substitute hereof., See table of the rights of user roles in DDP App (pdf, in Danish), Below you can read which rights the different roles have. You can also read more about how the roles are assigned.,  , What can the different roles do? , Responsible for authorisation, This role is responsible for the institution’s authorisation under microdata schemes with Statistics Denmark and approves association agreements under the authorisation. The person responsible for authorisation is legally responsible for the users associated with the institution complying with the current guidelines for use of data. Furthermore, it is the Responsible for authorisation that defines the institutions mail domains. The Responsible for authorisation can appoint a Substitute to maintain their tasks., Substitute, A user who has the same rights as the Responsible for authorisation. It is highly recommended that you appoint one or more substitutes. In the dropdown menu ‘Assigning roles’ below, you can read how to select substitutes in DDP App. Note that the person responsible for authorisation cannot be his/her own substitute., Administrator, It is the institution administrator who must approve and submit all of the institution’s project proposals and data orders to Statistics Denmark. The administrator works as an internal approver, whenever a project proposal is to be submitted or resubmitted. The administrator is thus charged with quality assuring the content of the project proposals from the institution, making sure that the proposals meet requirements to form and GDPR. This means that an administrator should be available and is expected to be a regular user of DDP App., It is also the administrator that create new users and association agreements for the new users. An institution must have at least one administrator, and we recommended that you appoint at least two administrators. This is because some tasks in DDP App can only be carried out by an administrator, and because a given administrator is not allowed to administer him- or herself. It is possible to appoint up to 10 administrators in one institution., Signatory, On behalf of the institution, persons with the signatory role can sign to pledge that a project proposal is conforming to Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation., When your project proposal has been approved, an employee in Denmark's Data Portal will sign it. After that, the person who submitted the proposal, i.e. the contact person for the project, the administrator or the contact person with powers, as well as the chosen signatory will receive an email with information indicating that the project proposal has been approved and signed. Subsequently, you need to sign the project proposal. Only users who have been assigned the role of signatory can sign project proposals., The role as signatory is assigned by the person responsible for authorisation or a substitute. Remember that it is a requirement that people with a signatory role are formally employed by the institution where they have the signatory role. There is no limit on the number of signatories., Contact person, A user with access to a project has the role as contact person for the project. The contact person has the dialogue with Denmark's Data Portal regarding the project proposal and data orders. A project can only have one contact person. Administrator can change the project contact person., Contact person with power, An institution can choose that a contact person can have powers corresponding to those of an administrator on the projects for which the user is a contact person. If a contact person has powers, the role is delimited to projects on the institution that assigns the role. that the institutions that the user is associated with. If you - as the person responsible for authorisation - want this solution for a user, you must contact Denmark's Data Portal., User, This is the basic role for users. The role gives access to information about the institutions and the projects the user is associated with and the user can edit his or her own information. When a user is associated with a project in DDP App, he or she also gets access to the project data on the researcher machine. Contact an administrator or the person responsible for authorisation, if you want to be created as a user under an authorised institution., Project owner at Statistics Denmark, When you submit a project to us, we will assign a project owner in Denmark's Data Portal to you with whom you will have direct contact. We do our best to answer your enquiry as soon as possible. , See the average response times under Contact Denmark's Data Portal, How to assign roles, The person responsible for authorisation at the institution is the only one who can assign the roles as substitute, administrator and signatory., To do so, you must as the person responsible for authorisation log into DDP App and select ‘My overview’. Click the institution where you are responsible for authorisation, and then click the three dots to the right of the institution name. If you want to assign/discontinue the role as administrator, you must click ‘Administration of administrators’. If you want to assign/discontinue the role as substitute, you must click ‘Administration of substitutes’, etc. Now a list appears of all users associated with the institution. Click ’Select’ next to the user you want to make either a substitute, an administrator or a signatory., The administrators of the institution can create new association agreements for the institution and attach users to projects.

    Rules for working with microdata

    Gain an overview of the most important rules and guidelines users of the microdata schemes must observe when working with microdata on Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines. Note: Non-compliance may involve sanctions.,  , Where can you access microdata on Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines? , Working with microdata under the microdata schemes in your workplace (the authorised institution) and via your home workplace is allowed. It is important that unauthorised persons do not get access to or a view of your work on the researcher machines. By “unauthorised”, we mean, for example:, Employees and colleagues who are not associated with the project you are working on, Business partners who are not associated with the project you are working on, Family, Friends, Other people, such as workmen in your home, This means that you are not allowed to work on Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines in public spaces, such as trains, buses, libraries, your local coffee shop or on public networks in general. Furthermore, you must always log out of Statistics Denmark’s researcher machine if you leave your screen temporarily, regardless whether it is just briefly or for a longer time. Consequently, it is not enough to switch to a screen saver – the access to the researcher machines must be cut off completely., Co-operation and sparring – what is allowed?, You are allowed to show your screen to persons who have approved access to the data that you are working with. If you need help or guidance, you must therefore first ensure that the person in question has access to the same project as you. Pay attention to the following:, Never leave your screen to anyone while they are helping or guiding you., If you want to share files, you must indicate the file path, so that the person can access the files via his or her own user access., If you want to spar with a person or for example, your contact person in Denmark’s Data Portal via email, and you need to provide examples, you must never include actual data or information from Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines. Always use fictitious figures and examples., Working with microdata – what is not allowed? , Below is a list of actions that are not allowed: , Note, : The list is not exhaustive:, You may not attempt to identify statistical units, such as households, businesses or individuals – yourself included – in the data that you get access to under the microdata schemes., You are not allowed to share your user access to Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines with anyone, and the passwords you are given, are personal and may never be disclosed. If you suspect that anyone knows your password, you must change it immediately., You may not let unauthorised persons get access to or view of your work on Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines. This rule applies, whether you do so deliberately or fail to pay attention. “Unauthorised person” means anyone not associated with the project you are working on. , You are not allowed to transfer data from the researcher machine to your own computer, to paper, email or any other medium or means, for example between Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines and the user interface in DDP App. It is thus strictly forbidden to copy, transcribe or illustrate information from Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines – regardless of purpose., You may not take photos of Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines. This ban applies to all types of images, including screendumps and snapshots or photos taken with your mobile phone, iPad or any other electronic devices., You are not allowed to send information from Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines via email to colleagues, neither business partners nor Denmark’s Data Portal. If you are to describe your data set or a problem, you must always use fictitious examples. Actual data or information must never be part of it.,  , Are you in doubt about the rules? This is how you get answers, If you are in doubt or have questions about Statistics Denmark’s rules for working with microdata on the researcher machines, you can ask for help from the person responsible for authorisation in your institution. In case of questions about a specific project, you must make sure that the person whom you ask for guidance, has access to the same project as you, before you show your screen to that person., In case of questions of a more general nature, you can also contact Denmark’s Data Portal at , FSEHjemtag@dst.dk, . In your request, you must indicate your ident and, if relevant, your project number. , Note, : If you want to describe a data set or what you suspect could be microdata, you must never include actual data or information. Always use fictitious figures and examples., Breach of the rules? This is how you handle it, If you fail to comply with Statistics Denmark’s rules or you suspect that you have failed to do so, you have a duty of notification. If you comply with your duty of notification, this will be regarded as a mitigating circumstance., Please notify both the person responsible for authorisation in your institution and Denmark’s Data Portal. You notify Denmark’s Data Portal by sending an email to , FSEHjemtag@dst.dk, with the following: , Your ident , Project number, if any, A description of the breach or where you suspect a breach, Date and time of the breach , If the breach involves files, for example files you have transferred, image files on your computer, in your mailbox or similar, you must delete them immediately from your PC, DDP App, mail folders etc. and inform about this in your email to Denmark’s Data Portal. ,  , Data security and transfer – your responsibility, As a user of Statistics Denmark’s researcher machines, it is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with Statistics Denmark’s rules and to observe them. Accordingly:, You are responsible for your work on the researcher machines being in compliance with Statistics Denmark’s data security rules, and , You are responsible that any transfer of analysis results and other materials complies with Statistics Denmark’s transfer rules. Read more under Rules on transfer of analysis results, and, You are responsible for notifying Denmark’s Data Portal immediately, if you suspect that you or someone else has breached Statistics Denmark’s data security and transfer rules  , Non-compliance may involve sanctions. , Read more under Sanction rules, Guides, agreements and documents in relation to data security and responsibility, Statistics Denmark’s data security rules under the Microdata schemes, Rules for data safety under the microdata schemes (pdf), Statistics Denmark’s information security and data confidentiality policy , Information security and data confidentiality policy – Statistics Denmark, Agreements (in Danish), Autorisationsaftale (pdf), Databehandleraftale (pdf), Tilknytningsaftale (pdf), Brugeraftale (pdf)

Furthermore, a variable description is uploaded with an indication of the variables that must be pseudonymised. Read more about the requirements data must meet and how you upload data in practice under , Linking of external data, ., Where in the process is my project proposal?, A project proposal changes status depending on where in the process the proposal is. Note that your project owner or the customer team in Statistics Denmark is not notified of your proposal until the administrator has sent it to Statistics Denmark., A proposal can have the following statuses:, Created, A project proposal has been created and is being prepared., Sent to administrator, The project proposal is ready for the administrator to read it., Sent to Statistics Denmark, The project proposal is ready and the administrator has sent it to Denmark’s Data Portal. At this stage, a project owner is allocated, if a new project is concerned or a project with a previous employee in Denmark’s Data Portal., Under review, The administrator or the project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal has questions or comments to the submitted proposal and has therefore returned it to the users of the project. Questions and comments are shown in the proposal or sent via email., Sent for signature, The project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal has sent the project proposal to the signatory group., Approved, The project proposal is approved by the Head of Division for Denmark’s Data Portal, and it is now possible to move on with the order (for example drafting of contract, data delivery)., Data delivered, The assignment is completed and will subsequently be invoiced., My project proposal has not been approved - what can I do?, Your project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal may have comments or questions for the project’s contact person, and this is why your project proposal is returned for revision. , When you have edited the project proposal, you can re-submit it via the DDP App., How do you make a re-proposal in the DDP App?, Read how you make a re-proposal of a project under , Specifically about re-proposals, ., My project was approved before the DDP App was created. Should I add the previously approved registers and variables when I make a re-proposal?, Yes, you should. Only one project proposal will be valid, and all data must be documented on the valid project proposal. This is why you must enter all details in the re-proposal., Do I have to create a new population whenever I make a re-proposal of my project?, You only need to create a new population segment if the population changes significantly, for example if it is created based on changed criteria, or if a submitted population is defined differently from the previous one. If you need to extend the population and the population must have the same register extraction as the original population, you can add this as an appendix to the description of the original population. You can do the same under ‘External data’, if external data from other sources than Statistics Denmark must be added., How do I change the deletion date of my project?, If you are the administrator, you can change the deletion date of projects. When you have clicked into the relevant project, you must click the three dots to the right of the project title. Now you are able to indicate a new deletion date for the project by clicking ‘Edit project’. You should not approve the deletion date, as this means that you cannot create re-proposals in future., I have created a project under the researcher scheme, but is should have been created under the project database scheme. What can I do?, Create a new project under the project database scheme with the same information. Then the administrator for your institution can approve the deletion of the ‘incorrectly’ created project under the researcher scheme., How do I approve the deletion of a project?, If you are the administrator, you can initiate the deletion process for a project.

    Linking of external data

    Statistics Denmark’s register data can be linked with other data materials, here called external data. This can be, for example, extractions from registers outside Statistics Denmark, your own data – for example survey data – or data from other data providers., External data must be documented and comply with the same requirements to data minimisation and statistical disclosure control that Statistics Denmark applies in general., These requirements must ensure that only external data needed in the project is provided and that Denmark’s Data Portal get the information necessary to be able to handle the additional microdata and make it available in the specific project., Use of external data must comply with the same rules regarding confidentiality and transfer as those that apply to Statistics Denmark’s microdata. , Read more about the rules on transfer and sanctioning, Any other data must be provided safely to Statistics Denmark. , You will find the guide for uploading external data sets under ‘Use of DDV upload’, Requirements for external data, Only approved and documented data:, External data must be covered by an approved project proposal. Documentation of the external data content must be uploaded as an appendix in the DDP App. See below under ‘Documentation of external data’., No information identifying individuals or businesses:, Personal names, company names, responses with free text in surveys and other information roughly identifying individuals or businesses is not allowed to be included in external data. Such variables must be removed or categorised before external data is provided to Denmark’s Data Portal., Only the required key variables:, You may include only the key variables, e.g. civil registration number, required to link the external data with the other data on the project. Key variables that are not needed must be removed before data is provided to Denmark’s Data Portal., Only numeric variables and categorised text variables:, External data may not include non-categorised text variables, such as free text., Only information required for the specific project:, Key variables for which there is no need, must be removed before data is provided to Denmark’s Data Portal., File formats, External data may be provided in the following formats:, .ASC, .CSV, .DTA, .ODS, .PDF, .SAS7BCAT, .SAS7BDAT, .SAV, .XLS, .XLSX, Documentation of external data, External data must be documented, so that Denmark’s Data Portal gets the information that is necessary to be able to handle the external data and provide it for the specific project. For that reason, the institution is responsible for uploading an overview with the below content as an appendix in the DDP App., A short description of data (for example origin and content), Name of the data set, names of variables and a description of the variable content., The key variables that must be de-identified. This means the variables required to link the external data with the other data in the project (e.g. civil registration number)., Which additional variables must be de-identified? This means variables that can be attributed directly to individuals or businesses (e.g. CVR number, grant number for health practitioner, serial number, or other ID numbers)., Does the external data include key variables that must be linked with key variables in previously provided data sets?, If data is provided directly to Denmark’s Data Portal from another data provider, further documentation may be necessary, e.g. variables that must be deleted (see ‘Requirements for external data’ above)., The overview must be uploaded as an appendix in the DDP App under ’External data sources’ in a generally available format (Excel, Word or similar)., If data is to be linked with more populations, the documentation must be attached as an appendix under ‘External data sources’ for minimum one of these populations. The external data must appear under ‘External data sources’ for each population., When the external data has been provided to Statistics Denmark and the documentation has been uploaded in the DDP App, it is recommended that you notify the project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal via email., Prices for delivery of submitted data, The price for the delivery of submitted data is variable. Once we have received the data, we prepare a framework agreement with a maximum expected time consumption. After delivery of the data, we settle based on the actual time consumption. , See more about framework agreements under Prices and price agreements, ., The expected time consumption depends on many factors, including the number, size, complexity and format of the files. Therefore, we always prepare framework agreements for submitted data on a case-by-case basis, and only when we have received the specific data sets., The table below provides a guide to the typical relationship between the number of data sets and the maximum expected time consumption. Please note, however, that the number of data sets is only one of many factors, and the table is therefore only a guide. Other factors, such as size, number of variables, or special treatment, may increase or decrease the number of hours in the specific framework agreement. Contact the project manager in Denmark’s Data Portal if you need a more precise estimate., See the current hourly rates under Prices and price agreements, Number of datasets, Typical number of hours in framework agreement (indicative), 1-2, 2-4, 3-10, 4-8, 11-20, 8-14, 21-50, 14-20, NOTE: The number of hours in the framework agreement is typically set to accommodate unforeseen circumstances. Since the settlement is based on the actual time spent, the final price will in many cases be lower., Submitting files that do not include microdata, Files that you need in your project and that do not include microdata (e.g. programme files), must not be uploaded via DDV Upload., The files can be sent directly to the project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal, if you are working on a subproject for a project database. If you are working under the researcher scheme, you can send an email to , danmarksdatavindue@dst.dk, . In both instances, you must attach the files to the email. Further, you must:, Confirm that you have checked the files to ensure that they do not include microdata., Confirm that the files do not include microdata., Provide a short description of the content of the files and its relevance in terms of the purpose of the project., Indicate the specific path to where the files must be located., Ensure that the files are submitted in a generally available format that can be opened and checked by Denmark’s Data Portal without use of specialised software.,  , De-identification, When the external data has been received in Denmark’s Data Portal it will be de-identified in the same way as any other data that belongs to the project. This happens by de-identifying key variables. Subsequently, the external data is made available together with any other data in the project., Providing external data to Denmark’s Data Portal, External data must be provided safely to Statistics Denmark, External data can be provided safely to Statistics Denmark in the ways stated below:, Use of DDV Upload, Under Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes, it is possible to upload additional files with data to be used in an existing project. Only data and documentation can be uploaded. Programmes etc. can be sent to the Denmark’s Data Portal employee who is responsible for the project (project owner)., The documentation must either be sent to the project owner from Statistics Denmark or be uploaded in one of the allowed file formats., Before you upload, Before you upload data to be used in a project, you must ensure that the criteria for use of your data in the project have been met. The requirements are described at the top of the page under ‘Requirements for external data’., The handling of external data is invoiced according to the actual time used, unless otherwise agreed., Contact the project owner in Statistics Denmark in advance., How to upload the files, You log in via remote.dst.dk in the same way as when you are going to work on a project., Under 'Applications and Links' select 'DDV Upload'., Write the project number of the project where your data is to be used., When the project title is shown next to the project number, you must check that you have selected the right project for uploading of data., If relevant, add a comment concerning your data in the comments field for the project owner at Statistics Denmark. Actual correspondence should take place via email. , Add files to be uploaded by clicking `Add file'. You can add one or more files. Each file may run up to 2 GB., Note that not all types of files can be uploaded. You can see the list of allowed types under `File formats' further up on the page., When all files have been selected, you must click `Upload'., When all the files have been uploaded, you can log out in the bottom right-hand corner., If relevant, see , this guide for DDV upload (pdf, in Danish), , which includes screenshots of the upload process., Use of secure email, Data with a max. file size of 100 MB can be sent via secure email to , forskerpost@dst.dk, in one of two ways: , The institution retrieves Statistics Denmark's certificate at the website for download of security certificates (in Danish): Select , forskerpost@dst.dk, . For Outlook, we recommend the Vcf format. , After this, external data must be sent to , forskerpost@dst.dk, . Always indicate project number and project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal in the subject field of the email and notify the project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal directly, once the external data has been sent. Statistics Denmark does not offer any support for encryption or digital signature. Refer to your own IT department for guidance using mitID and secure email., The institution can use a secure, encrypted tunnel (SEPO). The set-up is individual for different institutions and must be handled by the institution's IT department, which should be involved before the external data is sent., You must always indicate the project number and notify the project owner in Denmark’s Data Portal that the email has been sent using an encrypted tunnel (SEPO). If using an encrypted tunnel, external data must also be sent to , forskerpost@dst.dk, ., Registered letter or personal delivery, For data security reasons, we recommend that you use one of the above options., If this is not possible (e.g. if the files are very big), it is possible to provide password-protected external data on physical media directly to Statistics Denmark at the below address. The contact person for the project in Denmark’s Data Portal and the project number must always appear from the material handed in:, Statistics Denmark, Service Desk, Sankt Kjelds Plads 11, 2100 Copenhagen Ø, Att. Contact person for the project in Denmark’s Data Portal, Re. project number: 7XXXXX, External data can either be delivered personally at Statistics Denmark's reception or be sent by registered mail to Statistics Denmark on a physical medium (DVD, CD-ROM or USB, which will not be returned). When provided on a physical medium, the external data must be password-protected. Password must not be provided together with the physical medium., When the external data has been received, you must send the password via email to the contact person for the project in Denmark’s Data Portal.,  , Other data providers, Other data providers can provide external data directly to Statistics Denmark at the request of the institution and by agreement between Denmark’s Data Portal and the data provider. Delivery of external data must take place in one of the above ways, but you must make sure that the external data complies with the requirements above before it are delivered to RDenmark’s Data Portal., Do , not , send data via standard email, External data must not be sent via standard email, since this is not a secure delivery mode.

    High performance computing

    If you need high computing power for data analysis, modelling or machine learning, High Performance Computing (HPC) will give you access to an analysis platform that can handle complex calculations quickly and efficiently., HPC is a solution where your project is executed on a super computer in an HPC centre. Unlike traditional servers, HCP allows you to scale the computing power up or down according to your needs., Advantages of HCP:, High-performance:, Calculate and analyse large data volumes much faster than on regular servers., Adaptability:, Scale your capacity according to the project requirements., Storage:, HPC can store large volumes of data and quickly retrieve these from the memory., Not all projects require HCP. If you are working with small data volumes, which can be processed efficiently on a traditional server, a hosted server may be a more cost-efficient solution. If your analyses require extensive data processing, complex simulations or machine learning models, HPC will serve you well. To be able to use HPC for projects with data from Statistics Denmark, the HPC center in question must have entered an agreement with Statistics Denmark., Multiple HPC solutions – which one suits your needs?, Statistics Denmark offers three different solutions, which are outlined below. Read more, so you can choose the best solution., The API-solution, This solution is available to anyone who has an approved project in DDP App and an agreement with one of the HPC centers under the solution. You can find an updated list of the HPC centers included further down this page., With this solution, the user can decide whether data should be stored , both, on Denmark’s Data Portal servers or a hosted server , and, the HPC center, or , only, at the HPC center. It is also possible to have some users associated with the project , only, in DDP App, while others are linked to the project both in DDP App , and, at the HPC center. This solution also allows you to connect HPC resources throughout the entire or parts of the project’s lifetime., NGC Solution, This solution is available for health related projects, as this is a requirement from NGC. The project must also be located on NGC for the entire duration of the project. An advantage with this solution is that you make use of SSPE (see below)., Shared Secure Processing Environment (SSPE) Solution, This solution is developed for projects that have their own external data that needs to be linked to the project and where the data either:, is very large and therefore difficult and costly to send to Denmark’s Data Portal for de-identification, or, for legal reasons, cannot be transferred to Denmark’s Data Portals servers., This solution means that Denmark’s Data Portal can process the data directly on NGC’s servers. Read more about this further down the page., Link HPC solutions to your project via the API solution, It is now possible to link a project in the DDP App to an HPC center for a short or long period. Below, you can find answers to questions regarding the solution., Which HPC centers are included?, Statistics Denmark has entered into agreements with the following HPC centers:, Computerome (DTU), Read more at Computerome, GenomeDK (AU), Read more at GenomeDK, We expect more centers will be added to the solution, so the list may change over time., What does it cost to set up?, For the setup, Denmark’s Data Portal invoices five hours according to the current hourly rate. In addition, billing for data extraction, consultation, disk usage, processing of external data etc. are charged according to our normal rates. , You can see our current hourly rates here, The five hours do not cover the HPC center's costs for setting up the project in their environment or their operating costs. If you have questions about the prices of HPC centers, please contact them directly., How does the API solution work with external data?, External data that needs to be merged with Statistics Denmark’s bank of basic  data must first be sent to the Denmark’s Data Portal for de-identification. The external data will then be transferred to the project environment at the HPC center., Which projects can use the program?, All projects that are either on Denmark’s Data Portals servers or a hosted server can purchase this solution, provided they have entered into an agreement with the relevant HPC center., The project must have an approved project proposal before Denmark’s Data Portals transfers data to the HPC area. Since this is an add-on service, you can prepare and submit your project proposal to Denmark’s Data Portal before the agreement with the HPC center is finalized. The data you are provided with will only be extracted and transferred to the HPC center once the project proposal is approved and Denmark’s Data Portal has received a copy of the written agreement between the institution and the HPC center. Contact the HPC center directly if you are interested in this type of agreement., Note, : Projects located at the National Genome Center (NGC) cannot use this solution., How to get started?, First, you must have an agreement with one or more HPC centers. This agreement is valid for the entire institution. Once the agreement with the HPC center is in place, you can prepare a list of which users on which projects should have access to which HPC center., The list should be sent to your contact person at Denmark’s Data Portal, along with a copy of the agreement with the HPC center, who will ensure that access is granted to individual users under the relevant projects., Do I have access to Statistics Denmark’s bank of basic data on both the research machine and in the HPC environment?, It is up to the individual project whether Statistics Denmark’s bank of basic data should be stored both on the research machine (or a hosted server) and at the HPC center, or only at the HPC center., This means that some users on a given project can have access to both the research machine and HPC resources, while others only have access to the research machine. Please note that if you choose to have data in both environments, you will still need to pay the normal rate for disk usage on the research machine/operating costs on your hosted server., If the project should only process data in the HPC environment, it is not necessary to store data on the research machine. In this case, you can inform your contact person at Denmark’s Data Portal that the copy of the data on the research machine can be deleted after a copy is transferred to the HPC area., The programs (scripts) used to extract data will be saved so they can be re-executed later if needed. In this case, a framework agreement is created to cover the hours Denmark’s Data Portal use to re-deliver the data., Note, : It is a requirement that the project has an active server space either on DST’s own servers or a hosted server, as this is used to retrieve files. Additionally, login to the HPC environment must be done via the DDP App. , HPC for health projects via the Danish National Genome Center (NGC), If you are working with data from Statistics Denmark and you have a project with a health-related purpose, we offer an HPC solution via the Danish National Genome Center (NGC). The HPC solution uses a , One-Node Architecture, , where calculations are carried out on one server at a time. The HPC center is located outside Statistics Denmark, but the project will be created and controlled by Statistics Denmark in the same way as other projects. You will still manage the project via DDP App., To attach a new or existing project to NGC, you must:, Have created a supplementary agreement to your data processing agreement., (Re-)propose you project for approval with Research Services., Make an agreement with NGC., Be able to engage in dialogue with technical staff about the set-up of server access to NGC., Payment for use of the HPC center is settled directly with the center. For the use of NGC’s HPC infrastructure, you pay for installation, renting of hardware, operation and support., Further information about conditions for login with NGC and prices for installation, renting of hardware, support and operation, (pdf, in Danish), SSPE - New opportunity for Data Sharing through the HPC Solution for Health Projects, If you wish to work with very large volumes of data, on a project with a health-related purpose, Statistics Denmark now offers a new project setup through our High Performance Computing (HPC) solution at the Danish National Genome Centre (NGC)., The Shared Secure Processing Environment—known as the SSPE solution—allows third party data providers to make their data available within a closed environment which, in turn, enables users to analyze these data alongside data from Statistics Denmark. This makes it possible to support projects where the volume of the external data exceeds the storage and analyzing capacity of Denmark’s Data Portal's servers. Furthermore, it ensures that researchers bound by legal agreements not to transfer external data to third parties—including Statistics Denmark—can comply with those obligations., The SSPE solution is an advancement of the existing NGC setup. It is not meant as a replacement for the current setup, but as an additional offer to projects requiring greater analytical capacity. The same terms and conditions apply to projects wishing to use the SSPE solution as to those using the NGC solution., Contact and questions, Questions regarding the HPC center, , software in the HPC environment, prices for HPC resources, or setup/maintenance of the HPC environment: Contact the relevant HPC center directly., Questions regarding API and SSPE, Statistics Denmark, : Contact your contact person at Denmark’s Data Portal or write to , danmarksdatavindue@dst.dk, . ,
