Abstract

Autopsy reports are imperative for both medical and legal science. Medical examiners (MEs) and diagnostic radiologists (DRs) cross-reference autopsy findings, while judicial personnel derive legal documents. In a prior study, we proposed a visual analysis system named FORSETI (forensic autopsy system for e-court instruments) with x-LMML (extended legal medicine markup language) for MEs and DRs to author and review e-autopsy reports. In this paper, we outline our extended work in progress to introduce a provenance infrastructure for forensic data accountability to FORSETI, which can be characterized by two technical essences. The first is a provenance management mechanism that combines the forensic autopsy workflow management system (FAWfMS) and lmmlgit (a version control system for x-LMML files), allowing a large amount of provenance information about e-autopsy reports and their documented autopsy processes to be individually parsed. The second is authority management, which ensures the confidentiality of e-autopsy reports by deploying strict syntax-guided workflow controls and a custom-tailored tool.
