[MyData & Open Data] distinctions between personal and open

Tue Jul 2 20:31:05 UTC 2013

Hi Sam, one approach that has worked for me before is to set out 5 types of data that exist around an individual in simple terms that people can engage with, and point to the more detailed articulation for those that want it.

The simple version is:

My data - undeniable mine, I create it and manage it

Your data - your data about me ('you' typically equalling a supplier, but also applies to peers)

Our data - the data we co-create (and both technically have rights to and a copy of)

Their data - entities that have data about me without having a relationship with me (credit bureau, ad networks etc)

Everybody's data - what would typically be seen as 'open data'.

The more detailed version is here. That's a few years old and could use an update but I think the core logic remains correct.

Of course BIS and ODI have confused that logic using the term 'midata' for what I would describe as 'our data'. No matter, it's a well meaning effort.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Iain
