Meeting minutes

Issues/Actions listed in W3C tracker

beatriz: I attended the ANCR (Kantara WG), and they are interested in primer and contributing to use-cases

georg: Signatu is currently participating in a competition for PbD (design, default), and our use-case involves DPV. So this would be good to the community (DPVCG).

rigo: Consent is not only a token (in response), but also includes/requires information about what the consent is about (info/metadata)

rigo: The problem is package / container, so my suggestion or advice to the consent people is to provide us with a container

harsh: Is consent receipt / record (or whatever the standard/spec ends up being called) a solution or approach here?

georg: Currently, we have consent receipt/record as a transaction, and though it is supported in more technical possibilities, we aren't providing it yet

rigo: I'm involved in a project called MOSAIcROWN https://mosaicrown.eu/

rigo: This involves recording the semantics/info about use-case (e.g. analytics for a charging station) in connection with consent

rigo: we're implementing sticky policies, so one could point to the policy for all pertinent demonstration/proof/record

harsh: I'm working on a project related to consent (privacy as expected https://privacy-as-expected.org/) which also involves consent records

harsh: And the problem is that there can be many efforts, but they need to satisfy legal requirements and be auditable. E.g. there's CR v1.1, there's ISO 27560 in progress, Kantara has another WG for consent receipts

harsh: And I remember when we were doing DPV v0.1 via workshop/meeting, we had consent receipt on the agenda. Maybe now is a good time to resume the effort?

rigo: 20 years ago in P3P, there was a consent key field with info about 5 (purposes) which might be suitable for a use-case, but wouldn't scale or be applicable to practical use-cases

georg: Signatu has a system where store metadata associated with consent (e.g. purpose, data storage), and you can request key, records, and we can package it to share

rigo: There are also other legal bases, which also need to be packaged/used in a similar way.

rigo: If you're doing processing in health/medical domain, there is also recording of ethical clearance/advice/report, which is done once and then stored (as reference) in data lake.

harsh: for DPV, we have the basis of what is 'processing' i.e. data handling and legal bases. We need to go to the next level now and then think what do we need to specify consent, specify contract.

rigo: DNT has a field for consent blob (or can be associated with) that can be used as/to provide receipt. Something to think about / look into.

rigo: You should look at using named graphs as a way to capture a 'record' of a transaction or event, this could be a nice way to package RDF since tooling already exists to work with named graphs.

rigo: Look at RDF* (rdf-star) https://w3c.github.io/rdf-star/cg-spec/2021-02-18.html to annotate records/triples with information

rigo: In the legal domain, property graphs are more analogous than just triples, so RDF* can help specify information with DPV

georg: The Global Health Alliance (GHA) http://www.ghahealth.com/ also uses graphs linked/populated from GitHub, so another resource to look at (for examples/use)

Decision on Action/Issue Tracker

We will move to GitHub (from currently W3C trackers) as the sole place for listing issues and trackers

rigo will be looking into W3C namespace repo for DPVCG on GitHub

beatriz and harsh will summarise, filter issues/actions and move them to GitHub for record/discussion

Proposed Terms

nishad: does DPV have a term to indicate a related resource (a record) e.g. privacy policy

rigo: DPV uses the same global namespace schema as RDF for semantics IRIs, so that is the usual identifier used rather than an external resource

harsh: for referencing to other resources, there are vocabularies e.g. rdfs:seeAlso or dct:source that are better suited, rather than having DPV duplicate everything

harsh: DPV currently does not have a 'privacy policy' term --> something to add to proposed terms?

Tools shared / discussed today

nishad: OntoSpy dpv explorer https://nishad.github.io/dpv-explorer/ documentation for dpv

nishad: https://github.com/dcmi/dctap for specifying restrictions/profiles

harsh: OTTR https://ottr.xyz/ for ontology / templating
