Technical components

This chapter covers a selection of the technologies coming out of those projects listed in Chapter 2, which collectively contribute to a citizen being able to safely share their personal data.
The four sections reflect the different general issues being faced and have attempted to reflect the objectives of the European Commission when these projects were granted their funding.
They include:
- data owners and subjects controlling their own data;
- preserving data privacy and data quality simultaneously;
- information delivery on privacy metrics and data content and value;
- data platforms.
Additionally, reference is made to several initiatives which are designed to support this overall process in making it possible for a citizen to share their data securely and fully under their own control.
