Em 2016, os ‘Princípios de orientação FAIR para gestão e administração de dados científicos’ foram publicados na Scientific Data. Os autores pretendiam fornecer diretrizes para melhorar a encontrabilidade, acessibilidade, interoperabilidade e reutilização de ativos digitais (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets).

In 2016, the ‘FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship’ were published in Scientific Data. The authors intended to provide guidelines to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets.

O primeiro artigo desta série enfocou questões de política. Este segundo artigo analisa os detalhes técnicos e os requisitos de interoperabilidade na prática. O terceiro artigo analisará o impacto da interoperabilidade em fenômenos como desinformação e privacidade.

The first paper in this series focused on policy issues. This second paper looks at the technical details and requirements of interoperability in practice. The third paper will analyse the impact of interoperability on phenomena such as disinformation and privacy.

Essas organizações com perspectiva visionária optaram por reunir suas experiências e conhecimentos, a fim de pavimentar o caminho para ecossistemas de dados pessoais responsáveis, que projetados desde seu início para capacitar as próprias pessoas.

These forward-thinking organisations have chosen to pool their experience and expertise in order to pave the way for responsible personal data ecosystems which are designed from the ground up to empower the people themselves.

Not Fit-For-Purpose reflects on a decade of research and analysis into international standard-setting Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives (MSIs).

Specification to establish a foundational layer for secure data storage (including personal data), specifically data models for storage and transport, syntax, data at rest protection, CRUD API, access control, synchronization, and at least a minimum viable HTTP-based interface compatible with W3C DIDs/VCs.

Especificação para uma camada fundamental para armazenamento seguro de dados (incluindo dados pessoais), especificamente modelos de dados para armazenamento e transporte, sintaxe, proteção de dados em repouso, CRUD API, controle de acesso, sincronização e uma interface baseada em HTTP minimamente viável e compatível com DIDs W3C/VCs.

In this paper, we propose the creation of a system of personal data licenses that will help individuals determine conditions for granting access to their personal data.

It is of limited value to discuss building blocks and reference models of operators in an abstract way. As a way forward, we would like to focus on a number of design questions that touch upon technical, legal, business and societal perspectives. the discussion should clarify how operators can and should adhere to the MyData principles.

There’s been a rather interesting disagreement between two guys from Signal and Matrix recently. Many of the points they make relating to building competitive, privacy/freedom-protecting products and the difficulties are quite relevant.

A first version of the working paper plus different tasks is available. The work to create the working document and create support for its content is not only writing, but also discussion. I propose, therefore, a twofold approach: writing team in parallel with process team to ensure discussion is open and not dominated by the writing team.
