Standardized Data Portability is the next great frontier for the web.
As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal
data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen tools or
vendors. We need a "DHCP" for Identity. A distributed File System for
data. This page will list the standards and contributors who are
making it happen.
The Data Portability Workgroup is working towards choosing,
contextualizing and evangelizing a set of open standards and protocols
for data interchange and a reference design for a distributed data
discovery, import, export and sync.
