This is WIP and quite wrong! Don't rely on this.

Solid Glossary

Defining common terms in the Solid world

Document

the term “document” has become heavily overloaded within Solid, because the boundaries of a document capture more aspects than just the data within.

See https://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/2022/12/30/lets-talk-about-pods/#mismatches

Solid

A 'new' semantic-web-like architecture.

An execution/implemention of PDS.

CSS

Community Solid Server.

Not to be confused with CSS.

Used to host a PDS?

Personal Data

In the context of the GDPR:

Can have different meanings in different communities.

Does not mean it belongs to a single person! (My birthday is also relevant for my mother. And it will be saved/storedhandled by different systems/organizations, e.g. the hospital and the gouvernment.)

Ownership and control of data

Difficult and confusing legal stuff. TLDR: You can not control your data?

Data Space

TODO

PDS / Pod / PODs

PDS can mean either Personal Data Space, Personal Data Store or Personal Data System.

Personal Data Space

The single-user, personal data space. Stored somewhere (> Store). Forms a system (> System).

It is personal data space, and not personal data space.

Personal Data Store

The physical storage solution (CSS?) to save, write and a access the data from.

Personal Data System

The ecosystem that exists with the Personal Data Spaces at its core.

There are horizontal (across Personal Data Spaces) and vertical spaces (across organizations, gouvernments, ...)

Data Vault/Wallet/...

Alternative names for PDS?

WebID

The ID that identifies a (natural?) person in the PDS world.

RDF

Provenance

Serendipity

Affordance
