Was hoping to get some help as by next weeks call the EULA/ToS will be finalising on a definitions for the three types of data (nouns) and the four types of portability (verbs).
One of the verbs (export) doesn't have an agreed name yet, but below I've got my name sharing which I will propose on next weeks call. The reason I am posting however is because I was wondering if people could help fine tune the definitions I've come up with. Any feedback welcome. ----------- Nouns: scope of data Three broad categories relate to the objects that can be used: 1) Online Identity Is a representation of an entity. It is data that makes an entity definable and recognisable, in terms of possessing a set of qualities or characteristics that distinguish it from entities of a different type. 2) Digital Content Are expressions by an entity. It is data that generates an experience for those that interact with it, such as interpretation, entertainment or reflection. 3) Metadata Is data about data. It is data that is used to facilitate the understanding, characteristics, and management usage of data. An item of metadata may describe an individual datum, or content item, or a collection of data including multiple content items and hierarchical levels Verbs: scope of portability Four categories exist as to what can be done with data 1) “Open Arms”. The ability to access your data from another environment, through an import or approved viewing. 2) “Sharing” (export). The ability to access your data in another environment, through export or approved access 3) “Ever fresh”. The ability to update your data across multiple services in synchrony. 4) “Graceful exit”. The ability to remove your data from one or all systems. Thoughts on the above definitions? Please note that the actual three nouns and four verbs are what the task force thinks and agrees on - the definitions are my own. --------- If you are interested - minutes to most of our meetings are available on the wiki if you want to understand how we came to the above http://wiki.dataportability.org/x/mIRE --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataPortability.Public.General" group.
