Personal Data Store/Archive

Personal Data Store/Archive (T4C)

Convener: Terrell Russell

Notes-taker(s): Barbara Bowen

Purpose:

Personal Data Stores exchange and aggregate attributes with persistent systems and terms of service. Realigns difficult questions around privacy and consent.

Points:

• Vendor neutral packaging
• Structural leverage with portable data and rights through link contracts.
• Profiles, facets, and roles are established within a container.
• Groups create context.
• Authentication with an attribute store.
• Aggregation and merging of data from several sources is a problem which requires relying providers.

Platforms and Examples:

• XRI is a standardized graph model that establishes structure and context through dictionaries.
• Inames are identifiers that are a format for the construction of privacy.
• The Mine project and XDI examples.
• Telcos may offer data stores with replication in the cloud.
