[...] open source as relates to VRM – is it really that important? Adriana Lukas’s MINE! project is open source but does it need to be editable by anyone (open)? Or does it need to be freely [...]

This is going to be the most amazing revolutionary and generally fantastic new thing on the web since blogging, and before that email. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for it, honestly.

(So sick of facebook, which I liked before, but now feels deadly and suffocating. You had it exactly right all along.)

Hello Adriana and thanks for sharing these most interesting thoughts.

I noticed some striking similarities between “Mine!” and a framework I have been working with called iDNA. The latter is created by Paul Jansen *) and Pieter Wisse *).

The iDNA framework starts with principle number one: “1. Information about the individual (legal) person is the property of that (legal) person.” Compare it to the “fundamental point” within Mine! that “users own their data.”

Mine! then continues with talking about ways how data and functionality should be seperated, so data can be shared in a controllable fashion.
The iDNA framework calls this “Delegation of usage rights” and names principles like “The person may grant other parties usage rights to their person information”, “A usage right may include that the other party keeps a register of – a duplicate of, irrespective of the medium – person information.” and “All granted usage rights become inextricably part of person information.”

Perhaps, maybe, the principles of iDNA can be of help when further working on Mine!

Regards, –Leon.

Everyone has a grammar.

And I mean a grammar, because once we get out of school we get to write however we please.
There are similarities- tech writers, mommy bloggers, economists, etc…

I know, it’s still a top-down sort of view, but it would be a bit different because, instead of trying to get at information we want to keep private, we could convince vendors to pay attention to what we publish freely.
