Notice & Consent for people relies on clear communication.Decentralized identity relies on legal semantics to instruct the scope of technical semantics. Legal semantics for data control (that people can see and expect in person) are mirrored to provide data governance that people expect with the use of identifiers and claims online. Identity and traditionally data governance referring explicitly to control the flow of data in between domains and borders. Specification work Proposed for to extend international Decentralized Semantic Governance for the DDE.

Overview
Decentralized Data Governance for Data subject’s (data) rights. For people to find technology trustworthy, and to be able to use digital identity to control perosonal data in a way we trust, people need transparency over the security and privacy of the use of their identity and personal data after it is provided. They need to be able to see the privacy and security risks. In fact as a parent, this is legally required, in order to consent for them collection, use and surveillance of children's data and identifiers.
The lack of standardized legal semantics for Digital identity and personal (Transborder) data management presents a challenge for identity management technologies and protocols. This task force mission is to extend international identity governance standards to the SSI space with this specification for a privacy controller credential and the Unified Notice Control Language.
Decentralized Semantic Governance Stack
The Identity and Data Governance Stack of Specifications used to create this specification are designed to utilize OCA to overlay legal notice and consent schema's on to the existing ISO/IEC 29100 framework for jurisdictional privacy/surveillance notice profiles.
Then to enable identity governance interoperability by translating a local governance schema to the internationalized schema base for governance controls and privacy rights. Then, to overly the next schema for localized identity and data governance controls, which utilized the same surveillance and privacy semantic governance framework for identity and data control interoperability.
In this process the OCA utilizes this stack of standards and specifications to syncratically harmonize purpose driven interoperability for meta-data and identity governance (by extending International standards)
The Stack
- The use of international standards framework for security, privacy and identity management is critical for interoperability of data and identity controls internationally.
- management of data decentralized identifiers, VC's and the ISO 27710 series,Security Techniques - Information Security Management Systems -
- ISO/ IEC 29100 Security Techniques - Privacy Framework (for identifier governance)
- ISO/IEC 29184 Online Privacy Notice & Consent
- ISO/IEC 27560 Consent Record Structure (Kantara Notice & Consent Receipt specifications)
- Decentralized Proof of Notice for orgs
- Decentralized Proof of Processing (aka consent) for people
- W3C Data Control Vocabulary ( maps legal semantics to ontology) to harmonize decentralized legal semantics with machine readable semantics for linking identifiers and personal data.
- Privacy By Design an Default
- Used for high assurance, harmonized semantics
Background
- A key challenge, which is addressed with an International standards, is the lack of semantic harmonization for personal data control which provides security for the portability and control of private information and is a required for people to be able to independently consent and control personal information. This challenge, which was originally championed by the Open Notice Initiative's Presentation and Paper @ the W3C DoNotTrack Conference in Berkeley California. 'Opening Up the Online Infrastructure' called for collaboration on the semantic standards to be developed. Ultimately realizing that intention data governance standards were needed, and international data governance policy was required to govern between jurisdictions, technical domains, and identity management systems. It was also abundantly clear, the only legal, and human centric framework for this Internationally, is Notice & Consent. Notice and Consent, after an exhaustive research campaign, Notice, and semantics are the only consistent legal, technical and socially required component, for all contexts dealing with personal information.
- This turned into a Kantara Specification effort in 2014 and now, last year, ISO voted to fast track this to a standard 27560, to be used with ISO 29184 to address what was know by the phrased of the Biggest Lie on the Internet, was a focus of a movie Terms and Condition's May Apply. With an international governance rule set, people can use independently of Terms and Conditions.
- With the success of this work as an international standard this Task Force aims to collaborate to support an International data governance authority framework as an open resource for master data control transparency over personal information (with standardized notice).

Unified Notice Control Language for Semantic Harmonization
UNCL:
Uses the definitions and terms specified in the ISO 29100 framework, Consent Receipt v1.2, for specifying key roles for data control, transparency and accountability. This international framework is the basis for extending semantic data governance to decentralized data economy. In this economy, the Privacy Controller Credential extended the Privacy Controller Public Profile for verified claims, decentralized identifiers, and Self Soverign applications. For this purpose, this specification is used to provide the best practices for the data controller to generate a verifiable credential, the considerations in using this as a legal credential for standardized data processing.
The Privacy Controller, the accountable, authorizing stakeholder for data processing is the key audience for this specification and language.
Key Problem>
At this time, a high risk, high sensitivity data processing activity, has the responsibility to be transparent over the legal entities responsible for processing personal data, the beneficiaries of the data processing activity, in addition to any othe processors. This includes partners and data processing service providers, like Google or identity management service provider.
This privacy controller profile, printed out in long form would have multiple legal entities and Privacy Controller Credentials required, this would include all of their mailing addresses (by law) and , public contact point/addresses, and the details of any jurisdictional representative for privacy and data protection.
This specification, aims to tease out the language used for specifying these elements, which are legally required to be Public so that they can be represented with a single distributed identifier to simplify each DDE interaction.
Privacy Risk Assurance ;
- refers to trustworthy transparency
- e.g does this organization use of standardized legal semantics for notice and consent to ease understanding
Requirements Privacy Controller Credential Specification (in Open Consent Groups' OPN Architecture)
Providence chain starts with the person who is accountable bound to a legal entity.
Legal Entity Accountability Levels according to Tiers of Privacy Risk
Tier 0 - No-Risk Indicated : Self Asserted Binding with a privacy policy - providing minimum Privacy Risk Assurance (trustworthy Transparency)
- A non registered Broadcast listing
Tier 1 - Policy Controller - Low Risk - doesn't process personal data electronically, does not collect or process personal information, and for any personal identifier, this is minimized and secure, has internal security for data of employee's
Tier 2 - Privacy (data) Controller - Does process personal data for commercial benefit and use
Tier 3 - Very High Risk - invisible public surveillance, surveillance of children /vulnerable people etc Beneficial owners (required)
Tier 4 - Controller Operator - Provides Registration services for Privacy Controller Credentials, Mitigates Privacy Risk with codes of conduct and certifications that accredit codes of practice. Controller can then register to these codes of conduct and practice
Use's of The PCC Credential - a single identifier for a Privacy Controller, which links to all LEI's for beneficial ownership.
- Simplify Transparency
- Improve performance
- Sign Receipts to create tokens
- Provides
- Privacy - Transparency over legal entities, accountable people and beneficial -
- Legal Entity Identifier Purpose and Sources
- to identify the legal entity of the privacy controller

- owner / director / officer
- data proaction officer
- 3rd. Party Company Representative
- accountable role - (for another 3rd Party) acting representative
- to identify the accountable person / role that is bound to the legal entity identifier (aka) organization.
- Privacy Controller
- under what authority
- under what legal justification
