Input for a wikipedia article

A place for my stuff

Could be a store for personal data

Could be data store controlled personally (initial VRM usage)

Shared understanding:
 * 1) Controlled by person (required?)
 * 2) Virtually distributed
 * 3) Seamless permissioned access (sharing)
 * 4) Can be provided by a service provider
 * 5) Portability
 * 6) Interoperability
 * 7) Ownership/co-ownership/authority
 * 8) Data is extractable and semantically distinguished

Use Cases
 * 1) Sharing of Electronic Health Care Records
 * 2) Sharing of photos
 * 3) sharing of address books/contacts

Must distinguish between
 * 1) a store of personal data (database or file)

Who owns that transaction?

Who owns the data?

Ultimately its about how we give individuals control.

"Our" data /is/ distributed. That's fact. We have different levels of control and rights over that data.

What we are talking about is a layer of control.

Perhaps we need a totally new word.

Joe: If you can share from it, it's a personal data store.
