Enhanced multi-domain access control for secure mobile collaboration through Linked Data cloud in manufacturing

Collaborative networked organizations represent an important paradigm to help manufacturing companies to cope with the challenges of market turbulence. However, although manufacturing companies are increasingly aiming to implement mobile collaboration models, there are still some barriers that prevent manufacturers from effectively sharing big data leveraged in particular by the use of Internet of Things technologies. These barriers are basically related to the lack of security controls and lightweight data management enablers that would guarantee the protection of sensitive information published on the Linked Data cloud and leverage customers from the burden of linked data sharing. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the industrial application of the necessary extensions to traditional role-based multi-domain access control approaches to enable secure and mobile collaboration among manufacturing enterprises in logistic, manufacturing and e-Commerce processes in the context of the Web of Data.
