Introducing: MyData

- May 25, 2016 in opengov, openov, parliamentary data

this post was written by the OK Finland team What is MyData?
 MyData is both an alternative vision and guiding technical principles for how we, as individuals, can have more control over the data trails we leave behind us in our everyday actions. The core idea is that we, you and I, should have an easy way to see where data about us goes, specify who can use it, and alter these decisions over time. To do this, we are developing a standardized, open, and mediated approach to personal data management by creating “MyData operators.” Standardised operator model A MyData operator account would act like an email account for your different data streams. Like an email, different parties can host an
operator account, with different sets of functionalities. For example, some MyData operators could also provide personal data storage solutions, others could perform data analytics or work as identity provider. The one requirement for a MyData operator is that it lets individual receive and send data streams according to one interoperable set of standards. What “MyData” can do?
 “MyData” model does a few things that the current data ecosystem does not. It will let you to re-use your data with a third party – For example, you could take data collected about your purchasing habits from a loyalty card of your favourite grocery store and re-use it in a financing application to see how you are spending your money on groceries. It will let you see and change how you consent to your data use – Currently,  different service providers and applications use complicated terms of service where most users just check ‘yes’ or ‘no’ once , without being entirely sure what they agree to. It will let you change services – With MyData you will be able to take your data from one operator to another if you decide to change services. mydata-banner-transp Make it happen, make it right MyData2016 conference will be held in Aug 31st- Sep 2nd in Helsinki Hall of Culture. Right now, the technical solutions for managing your data according to MyData approach exist. There are many initiatives, emerging out of both the public and private sectors around the world, paving the way for human-centered personal data management. We believe strongly in the need to collaborate with other initiatives to develop an infrastructure in a way that works with all the complicated systems at work in the current data landscape.
