Communities of interest in a Person Data Commons

A Data Commons that facilitates the sharing and integration of data about people has value for multiple communities of interest.

There are two important aspects to the interests in personal data reuse. One is the distance from the person whom the data is about: here we make distinctions between uses of personal data ranging from first-party to fourth-party use. The second is to look at the kinds of user: government, marketing, technologists, and their various interests in personal data.
