[MyData & Open Data] distinctions between personal and open

Hallo to all

I' m new to this list.  My experience is of working for a joint 
venture,  set up to design infrastructure to give individuals better 
access to, and control over, their personal data, starting with the 
education records.

Various thoughts about the 'distinctions between personal and open' thread.

**A few times recently, I have heard the phrase 'little data' or 'small 
data',  meaning data which is personal to me, and over which I would 
like control. The point (obviously) is to mark the contrast with the Big 
Data approach - where data should be anonymised and may, or may not be 
open.

** There's no substitute for talking to people, and developing a shared 
understanding. In the identity field, which is closely allied to that of 
personal data, one project became so tired of the endless debate about 
terminology that they announced 'It's easier done than said', explained 
what they hoped to do, defined their own terminology, and got on with 
it. In the end, I agreed with them: better a rough general understanding 
shared between relevant people than too much work on taxonomies.

** Re the fitbit thing, could the issue be simply the result of the 
immaturity of the personal information  sector?  If everyone has some 
form of 'personaldata store/ switch / service (i.e. PDS)',  they could 
register a personal device to it,  and then use their PDS to direct data 
from the device to one or more recipients, e.g. data from a health 
sensor to health record. The lack of PDS infrastructure means that 
manufacturers of devices have little choice but to route the data back 
to their own servers,, tho I don't suppose many object.

** Also, re the princples of privacy, the Privacy and Consumer Advisory 
Group - as set up to oversee the Identity Assurance Programme - has just 
published a revised set of 'identity assurance principles'. See 
http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/2013/06/17/advisory-group-publishes-identity-assurance-principles-for-consultation/. 
They are good people, and would welcome comments.

Regards,

John
