Evidence Exchange Standard Package: An Application CASE Ontology Complied for the Preparation of the Evidence Package and Its Exchange

The evidence exchange is carried out through the eEDES communication tool, described in Chap. 6 and over the e-CODEX secure communication channel, described in Chap. 5. The evidence to be exchanged, packed in a secure transport envelope, the Evidence Package, needs to use a standard for the representation of its metadata and data. To illustrate how to handle and prepare the Evidence Package and foster its exchange in a secure manner under the above scenario, a fictional Use Case-inspired by a real investigative case-has been created.
