What next for Personal Data & Identity?

The Personal Data & identity Working Group Members review what is happening in the sector and how they plan to help move the sector forward.

On the  the increasing requirement for the sharing of individual’s health data, Digi.Me’s clients are asking for:

  • Single Source of Data – business don’t want the job of collating/aggregating/rating multiple data sources as this detracts from their core business focus
  • Wide Reach of Data Points – social, health, finance, wearables, media, web browsing etc
  • Historic Depth – as long and as full a data timeline as possible
  • Accuracy – validated data direct from primary sources, not inferred or third-party
  • Normalised – multiple data languages normalised/mediated to one single ontology

Mixing the two elements of personal data and identity often seemed to be like attempting to marry oil and water, with both stubbornly refusing to shed their constituent natures to somehow merge and miraculously create something new, anew paradigm that consists of both formative elements but that allows them both to happily co-exists, both serving the needs and requirements of the other in a symbiotic manner.
