White Paper published today http://mydata.org/operators/
- Move from ‘protection’ (e.g. GDPR) to empowerment, actionable rights rather than protective rights
- MyData is a ‘movement’ ~ 200 organisations, 1000 people, distributed org model via local hubs, annual conference, more focused than IIW but some fellow travellers
MyData Operators - acknowledge that most people can’t manage their own personal data, an Operator is a new category of businesses that empower the individual
- 20/30 ‘proto-operators’
- MyData offers ecosystem governance, holding operators to account, operator will typically(but not necessarily) have a fiduciary relationship (e.g. with a doctor, a lawyer, a government), with the individual. The Operator must work for the individual or be neutral (a facilitator), cannot work for an organisation or a platform.
- Reference model is not defining solutions or standards, but instead defining requirements, look to W3C etc to continue to develop standards that promote the primacy of the individual
- Promoting interoperability
- Most significant element is that if an organisation wants to be a MyData Operator, they must be able to be interoperable with other operators, More than Data Portability MyData Operators must demonstrate strategy / roadmap to move towards interoperability
Important work that starts to build potential for a real market. Power in terms of
- no specification of standards
- no specification of tech
- focus on business requirements and Governance
Adrian Gropper: Now moving towards Standards discussion here @ IIW based on the principle that we already have the tech and the standards
Johannes Ernst: MyData is important and very focused community. Interoperability is important for the market to emerge not essential - e.g. personal computing market, expect Data Operators to go the same way. (discussion as to whether standards should come before or after market adoption) Compelling vision of a new market category called Data Operators - data is not held hostage
Nicky: Classic application of ToIP Stack - starting with business, flow through governance, now time for the tech. Operators exist in Layer 3 (Data Exchange) would great to work with ToIP Foundation to start enabling this market
Adrian: Transactional Authorisation work in WIETF
John W: Build social trust, MyData focuses on building services that people can trust, these are different types of standards in human trust than those standards in technical trust. Will be domains / Vertical standards
Nicky promised to share some slides on Data Value Cycles -and pointed at the important gap that the data operator filled at the heart of the cycle
Adrian: Still need standardisation in things like ‘privacy policies’ ref from Nicky re Doc’s Machine Readable Privacy Terms (IEEE)
John W - tools for managing personal data still not realistic - Operators are needed
Johannes - lots of different potential business models
Iain - More work on showing their model and approach to start working towards interoperability
What does MyData need from us ?
Join MyData, very Euro-centric, under-represented in USA
Johannes has helped start a MyData Hub in heart of surveillance capitalism (Silicon Valley)
