The desirable solution could be the integration with other platforms already in place, especially those managed by major European/International public bodies. In this case an existing platform should extend their already implemented features in order to manage:

• Metadata for structuring and representing forensics information
• Formal languages for expressing these metadata with standard such as DFAX/CybOX or NIEM or UMF
• Software agents/tools for processing these formalisms

 

Standard are important in each science field. In exchanging forensics information is essential to determine the essential metadata for representing the involved forensics information and formal languages for representing these matadata, in order to facilitate tools interoperability and implement a digital evidence exchanging.

Some suggestions collected from Digital Forensics Experts:

• there should be the possibility to add new tools, using the web interface
• It should be possible to notice new test/review about a specific tools, noticing the related URL
