Personal data services or personal datastores (PDS) are services to let an individual store, manage and deploy their key personal data in a highly secure and structured way.[1]

They give the user a central point of control for their personal information (e.g. interests, contact information, affiliations, preferences, friends). The user's data attributes being managed by the service may be stored in a co-located repository, or they may be stored in multiple external distributed repositories, or a combination of both. Attributes from a PDS may be accessed via an API. Users of the same PDS instance may be allowed to selectively share sets of attributes with other users. A data ecosystem is developing where such sharing among projects or "operators" may become practicable.[2]

Open Source Projects

Cloud-only

Note: Cloud-based PDSes are sometimes called personal data clouds or personal clouds.

  • (HAT) Hub-of-All-Things
  • iGrant.io, a data intermediation service provider (DISP) based out of Sweden (provided as Data Pods on Data Wallets)
  • Personium.io - open-source personal datastore
  • SOLID Project - SOLID (Social Linked Data) is an open-source web decentralization project led by Tim Berners-Lee.
  • Atsign - Open source end-to-end encrypted and public personal data service

Cloud or on-device

  • Decentralized Web Node - Data storage and message relay mechanism entities can use to locate public or private permissioned data related to a given Decentralized Identifier (DID)
  • Byoda - Data store supporting P2P social media services

On-Device only

  • SNPLab - On-Device MyData platform provider for combined personal data based on self-issued DID

Development Tools

  • Dogsheep Project - Build your own Personal Data Warehouse. Dogsheep is a collection of tools (open-source) for personal analytics using SQLite and Datasette (Python).[3]

Inactive

  • data.fm - an open source, PDS with a centralized underlying attribute store as well as an API to enable bi-directional attribute updates from external websites and services. The APIs are based on standards and include WebDav, SPARQL and linked data. Data formats exchanged include RDF, XML and JSON.
  • The Locker Project - an open source, JavaScript-based, PDS with a centralized underlying attribute store that exists on a person's personal computer as well as an API to support local applications.
  • openPDS/SafeAnswers - openPDS/SafeAnswers allows users to collect, store, and give fine-grained access to their data all while protecting their privacy.
  • Higgins - Higgins is an open source project dedicated to giving individuals more control over their personal identity, profile and social network data. Includes a personal datastore.
  • ID Hole - a dynamic and commercial consumer PDS that allows for the storing of personal data and the dynamic sharing of that data with other parties.
