3. WP4 – Tasks 4.1 and 4.2 Generating public data (months 1-36)
Based on existing KM3NeT software, the production chain for public data, including the formatting according to ASTERICS standards, will be developed for KM3NeT and simulation data. Example usage programs will be developed, tested and their provision in a platform-independent way prepared.
Monitoring and data quality control (months 12-36)
Tools will be developed to monitor the performance of the program chain and the quality of the output. This includes application of the example usage programs to the generated data and scrutiny of their performance and output. All monitoring tasks will be automated to a level where human interference is only required if problems are detected but not for the monitoring itself.

4. WP4 – Tasks 4.3 and 4.4 Data archives and access (months 1-36)
The method of data archiving will be established and optimised. The data archive will be set up and the user access interface and authorisation established, again in coordination with ASTERICS where appropriate. An environment will be provided where external users can apply the example programs developed in task 4.1, or own programs, to representative data samples. For establishing access to the environmental data, cooperation with the LTER project will be sought.
Documentation (months 18-36)
Data processing methods, data structure, data access, example programs, program test environment, etc. need to be documented in sufficient detail to allow external users to gain data access and to perform analyses. The documentation must be available online and a feedback mechanism for questions and problems must be developed. The documentation must be carefully tested for consistency and completeness.

5. WP4 – Tasks 4.5 and 4.6 Rules of data usage (months 18-36)
The terms and conditions under which data are provided, the cooperation models between external users and the KM3NeT Collaboration, as well as rules for authorship and intellectual property rights will be worked out and documented in agreement with Funding Agencies and stakeholders. A corresponding online agreement will be developed that external users need to confirm to obtain data access.
Education and training (months 12-36)
The material (information sheets, flowcharts, movies, presentation slides, virtual guided tours, etc.) for the virtual educational centre will be prepared. The virtual education centre will be set up and tested. Educational material and a reference program for face-to-face training meetings will be developed.
