Join Louise Burke, Chief Executive Officer, ODI, and Jesse Wright, Solid lead, ODI, as they outline how Solid’s values are in line with the organisation’s mission, and how the ODI will help Solid continue to grow.
The ODI will bring Solid - an open standard developed to give individuals and organisations greater control over their data - into its broader data stewardship activities. The Solid project, protocol, and community will now become part of the ODI’s activities to promote secure, ethical data sharing and build a more transparent, secure, and user-centric data ecosystem.
What is Solid?
Solid is an open standard for managing digital identities and storing personal data for re-use across applications on the Web. The goal of Solid is for people to have more agency over their data. Solid is a project, a specification, and a movement for a user-centric data storage system. Data is hosted in people’s Personal Online Data Stores (Pods). Through Solid, control over what happens to people’s data is now "distributed" back to the user, so Solid is a user-centric rather than a decentralised technology. Find out more about Solid and how the ODI will support its development here.
