Download paper in PDF

MyData reference architecture presented in this set of specifications is a human centric approach to liberate the potential of personal data and to facilitate its controlled flow from multiple data sources to applications and services. It responds on a practical and technical level to individuals growing demand for control over their own digital identity and to organizations need to fulfill the requirements of tightening data protection regulation, especially on digital, dynamic consents. Architecture takes an attempt to provide individuals and service providers a rigid framework for consent and data authorisation management and service registration via a standard and interoperable mechanism.
