DataPortability Project

Standardized Data Portability is the next great frontier for the web. As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen tools or vendors. We need a DHCP for Identity. A distributed File System for data. This page will list the standards and contributors who are making it happen. More

As a champion of participant rights and open data, Faraday Media identified a gap in the conversation. While many disparate groups were discussing various aspects of the problem, few had a cross-discipline view of the solution.

With this in mind, Faraday Media founded the DataPortability workgroup - An initiative dedicated to creating and evangelizing a complete reference design and support material for end-to-end implementation of solutions that support the managed sharing and synchronization of user data.

The group now includes recognized leaders across various disciplines and perspectives and drives the conversation forward in forums and blog posts. The website is recognized as the key place to start to investigate the subject.
