[MyData & Open Data] existing legal frameworks of biometrics

Hi all,

I also think that "personal data" is a better term.   "my data" carries the
baggage of ownership which is clear in some cases but less so in others.
 FWIW, I quite like the structure that the Open Data report commissioned by
the UK Research Councils comes up with.  See the full report at
http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/Publications/policy/OpenData/ (page 43)

The possible governance structure they propose for research data is a three
tier model:

Tier 1 was associated with data with no public interest implications- and
was generally felt to apply to most research. Data governance would be
overseen by funders and other researchers and
funders, who have appropriate technical knowledge and understanding

Tier 2 was associated with data with public interest implications, such as
that affecting human health or where there are significant implications for
the environment. Here data governance
would involve specialists including those from ethics, legal, financial,
faith backgrounds and so on. But it would generally not include the public.

Tier 3 was associated with public interest research with implications for
personal data. Governance could involve the lay public as well as
specialists. Regulators should also govern this area.

Could be more broadly adapted for OGD.

Cheers... Steve
