I had an opportunity to have a very wide-ranging chat with David Bray, CIO of the FCC, yesterday, about data sharing, the IoT, UMA, and more. He subsequently pointed me to some resources about DARPA’s Project Brandeis, about which I’d heard, but I hadn’t really delved into it very far. It’s a new research project to come up with technology solutions for privacy related to (simplifying a bit) big data: http://www.darpa.mil/program/brandeis https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=806e298e3bda3a09fd13d4d2d4d13afe&tab=core&_cview=0 https://defensesystems.com/articles/2015/08/25/darpa-sri-brandeis-data-priva... These led me to something called Human-Data Interaction: http://hdiresearch.org/ http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2508051 The paper will sound familiar to a lot of us who have been around VRM, PDS’s, and such for a long time. It’s good stuff, but not entirely new. In fact, they introduce a term, “data statement”, that sounds pretty close to consent receipts. :-) I put the [legal] tag on this note specifically because the paper has three themes — legibility, agency, and negotiability — that may *possibly* speak to our work. In any case, I thought I’d draw the attention of all of the “BL&T" participants to this stuff. Eve Eve Maler | cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl | Calendar: xmlgrrl@gmail.com
