What does our Personal Data Ecosystem believe in?

• Dignity of the Individual is Core
• Systems Must Respect Relationships
• Remember the Greatness of Groups
• The Social Web is not Networked Individualism
• Protocols that Enable Broad Possibilities are Essential
• Open Standards for Data and Metadata are Essential
• Defaults Must Work for Most People Most of the Time
• Norms and Practices in the Personal Data Ecosystem Must be Backed up by Law
• Business Opportunities Abound in this New Personal Data Ecosystem
• Diversity is Key to the Success of the Personal Data Ecosystem

A personal data store should aspire to:

• Be user-controlled
• Federate
• Interoperate
• Support contextual meaning
• Portability
• Manage metadata
• Broker services
• API Discoverability
• Be automatable and scriptable
