Notice & Consent for people relies on clear communication.Decentralised identity relies on legal semantics to express technical semantics that mirror the same clarity. As there are no standardised semantics this presents a challenge. This work is a call to action for a Unified Personal Data Control Semantics, that extend data control vocabulary ( mapped legal ontology) with decentralised legal semantics. | StatusACTIVE |
Use Cases
Data Governance: Data subject’s (data) rights
- A key challenge and semantic at the core of self Soverign and privacy is that security and privacy information is required upfront. If people are self-sovereign this information needs to be discoverable and useable by default
- to address this issue a unified data control vocabulary extends the Data Subjects rights to data controls that can be used for legal data controls
- whats involved
- use/finish the latest Operational Notice & Consent Receipt Specification -Kantara V1.2 that combines the ISO 29100 & 29184 and 27560 -standards comprised of the International privacy security framework (for Soverign data transfer)
- start a generic - unified data control notice schema - mapped to the ISO 29100 framework -
- map/generate legal overlays for this core overlay to Create an OCA test schema framework.
Key Points to consider:
sovereign identity, a data processing activity is based on a data subject’s explicit or otherwise (human) consent (not internet service /cookie consent),
an individual’s privacy rights need to be extended to proportional digital privacy rights, so an overlay extends the analogue privacy law with a standard digital control semantics with the unified data control. This requires a legal (computational law) use case to illustrate (action for Mark Lizar
Digital Rights usage Challenge
different legal justifications have different rights associated with them. This makes it very difficult for people and orgs to know what rights apply in any given data control context - a problem that the can be solved with the use of these standards -
e.g. a notice for explicit consent - or legitimate interest? when does a Data subjects have the right to data portability (Article 20) when is processing is based on consent. When not used on consent- people have the right to object (Article 21)
the right to withdraw consent may provide a different outcomes - -
Articles 16 to 20 of the GDPR indicate that (when data processing is based on consent), data subjects have the right to erasure when consent has been withdrawn and the rights to restriction, rectification and access.
- Gaps to cover
- core schema base
- what missing in this base?

Unified Personal Data Control Vocabulary & Semantics (inputs)
the aim here is to collect the starting point for standards and references for legal governance, and to currate a list of proposed (new terms/elements to explore)
For Example:
Legal Semantic Element | semantic description | functional usage | fields Required | |
---|---|---|---|---|
controller | ||||
controller_identity | ||||
controller address registered | ||||
controller address (mailing) | ||||
controller contact | extend consent termination for a control point |
