6. Personal data store context
Financial/economic:
• Cost of keeping data up to date
• Cost of providing services with poor data
• Cost of bad data logistics
Political
• Push-back on “Database state”
• Desire instead for market ID solution
• Desire to restore responsibility to individual
• Manifestos, think tank papers; WEF
Tech:
• User-centric ID: Higgins, InfoCards
• Selective disclosure/PETs eg uProve
• Trust framework: OpenID, OAuth, OIX

9. So what's in it for...
Individuals? Convenience, saves time & hassle,
preserves/adds value, new insight, empowerment,
acquired trust
Organisations? Lower cost; better data accuracy,
quality, completeness, richness, better compliance,
better relationships, fewer lost opportunities
The economy? Reduce cost of existing activity
(averaging, push, guesswork); potential wave of new
entrepreneurial person-centric services
Society? Active, confident, participative people;
foundation of trust in online services
www.mydex.org
13. What is unique role of LAs in all this?
1. Run core infrastructure esp the electoral roll
2. Rich, deep relationships with individuals
3. ...based around a shared interest in location
4. ...which both the Council and individuals want
to optimise (better local services, value)
5. + core public-service ethos: not to exploit but
to support individual/ citizen.
If you agree, Mydex needs a workable way to
engage with local government.
