Why does GDFS serve as an important breakthrough in the implementation of the right to data portability?
In recent years, we have found that solving the problem of privacy protection has become more and more urgent in the development of the Internet. Data abuse has become a norm in this era, and data sharing that can truly play the value of data is difficult to promote. Fortunately, the law on data protection has become more and more perfect, and the right to data portability, which has been frequently raised recently, gives a solution for data issues.
Right to data portability originates from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) promulgated by the European Union in 2018.
According to GDPR: Individuals can request data controllers provide personal data held to themselves or other controllers. This directive broke the monopoly of data by enterprises and provided a legal basis for data sharing and data value monetization.
The birth of the right to data portability is of great significance to the development of society and science. For example, in the medical field, understanding diseases, drugs, lifestyle habits, and sleep from data, and improving the activity of structured and unstructured data obtained from multiple sources can realize the value-added of data. The effective use of these data is more related to national and even global disease prevention and control, new drug research and development, and the ability to overcome chronic diseases.
The right to data portability not only protects personal data, but also revitalizes the value of data. However, the actual implementation of the right to data portability also faces some challenges. For example, data transfer requires interoperability between data controller systems, which may present technical obstacles or cost increases for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Judging from the existing development model of the right to data portability in the world, it is mainly led by the government or technology companies. However, both of them have different limitations in terms of secure storage, trusted transmission, and collaborative production. Considering these issues, GDFS, which has both a credible verification mechanism and an incentive mechanism, came.
GDFS (GoodData File System), which was proposed by GoodData, is an IPFS and blockchain-based cloud storage. GDFS combines the open, transparent and anti-tampering characteristics of the blockchain, the security of IPFS, region-aware technology and incentive mechanism, achieving a highly reliable and available storage solution.
In terms of data collaborative production, the GoodData blockchain uses privacy computation technology to solve the security problem of data in the process of multi-party collaborative computation, that is, to obtain accurate calculation results without transmitting the original data.
In practical applications, GoodData starts with the simplest sleep data to help users use right to data portability to realize data value mining. In operation, users establish an NFT Cyborg-Goody representing their own identity through the GoodData blockchain. With the support of background technology, Cyborg-Goody is connected with data assets to facilitate data transfer or transaction. Users upload their sleep data to GDFS through Cyborg-Goody, and will receive token rewards from the platform at the same time. When medical institutions that need sleep data for research use user data, users will get more rewards.
The proposition of the right to data portability not only regulates the standards for companies to use data, but also helps for data value mining. GoodData believes that the future metaverse must also be a scenario where data portability is widely used, and the arrival of this moment is not just a corporate effort, but requires everyone.
