Interesting, thanks Daniela.
I imagine the efforts of Creative Commons would cover a lot of this. But I
think you raise a good point: personal information - the kind we debate
about on social networks as well as health - is merely only one side of the
data portability coin. The other side, is media - and to date, we've had
minimal discussions on this.
For example, photos. I've been meaning to write a blog post of this, but
ideally I would LOVE it if
- I could store my phones in Amazon's/Googles/Microsofts cloud
- I could have my facebook account 'pull' those photos within the album so
that m friends can tag me and I can tag them
- I could pull those photos into Flickr, so I can show of my travel
photography and get involved in the community
- I could use an online photo editor that can pull my photos enabling me to
make edits.
Flickr, one of our early supporters, already does part of this. They allow
you, through third parties, to edit your photos - which is a great example
of interoperability and creating more value to us as users.
It's an example, where the business case for data portability is clear: no
one 'loses' out here, and inf act, more value is created in the ecosystem.
This one-dimension view about having to acquire users to host their content,
and not allow them to export it, is stupid. It's not recognising, the
information value chain[1] and that derivative products can be created, that
generate new value. Our recently ratified vision[2] recognises this: "Data
portability enables a borderless experience, where people can move easily
between network services, reusing data they provide"
