Understanding MyData Operators focuses on practical aspects of technology and governance to make the operation of infrastructures for personal data easier and more human-centric, with the goal of establishing full interoperability between operators.
For the white paper, the group studied examples of products, services and organisations that are in one way or another performing or supporting the role of an operator in personal data ecosystems. These actors come in many forms and under many different names: personal data services, personal information management services (PIMS), fiduciaries, and data banks.
