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.
