ADAPT DCU Researcher Publishes New Research on Exploring Data Governance
New research by ADAPT Assistant Professor at DCU, Dr Harshvardhan J. Pandit, describes “a new radical paradigm based on decentralising control of data from central organisations to individuals” called Solid which aims to empower those individuals to have full control over their data and how it is being used. The new research titled ‘Making Sense of Solid for Data Governance and GDPR’ explores data governance and the application of GDPR and was recently published in Information, a scientific, peer-reviewed, open access journal of information science and technology, data, knowledge, and communication, published monthly online by MDPI.
The implementation of Solid requires consistent privacy and data protection regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). In the paper, Dr Pandit outlines the requirements for forming a use-case which includes understanding the roles and processes involved and aligning them with GDPR so as to identify relevant obligations and explore their compliance.
