09: Technical building blocks

Explore and map out technological aspects of data, protocols, and architectures

Keywords: data models; semantics; protocols; architectures; interoperability; decentralization; self-sovereignty

What is it that makes MyData “work”? It’s the set of technologies that store, share, link, and move data. The landscape of data standards, protocols, and architectures however is complex, and even experts often don’t agree what specific technologies should be used for what purpose, and how different pieces fit together. Yet, in order to evolve the MyData vision into more than just a collection of isolated and incompatible island projects, the magic keyword seems to be interoperability. What are the building blocks that can help us turn MyData into something that is bigger than the sum of its parts? And how does technology relate to questions of ethics and governances?

Cities Driving for Personal Data

In this session we will hear first how cities are opening up their personal data for creating better services, how cities approach digital identity and identification question. In general the session tackles the question what kind of personal data platform strategy cities should take. Should they be platform providers or what kind of platforms should they support. How should they interoperate with others? What are critical features for the personal data platforms from the city perspective. The session will have keynote presentations and panel discussion.

Self Sovereign Identity

This session focuses on first defining and detailing what is actually self-sovereign identity, why it is important and how we can advance the adoption of self-sovereign identities. There are multiple different approaches on how to provide self-sovereign identities. In the session we will hear presentations from leading experts on what it is and how they think it should be taken forwards. Finally we have a discussion on how the different perspectives come together and what should the community do in the future.
