The Data Collaboration Alliance is a nonprofit dedicated to helping the World's people and organizations get full control of their information.
We see control (through the elimination of data silos and copies) as the key to supporting meaningful Data Ownership and unlocking the transformative power of global Collaborative Intelligence.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
UNIVERSAL
CONTROL
We support technologies and methodologies that minimize data and eliminate copies in order to make meaningful control possible
UNIVERSAL
OWNERSHIP
We believe Data Ownership is a human right and control should be in the hands of the rightful owner or a temporary custodian they appoint
UNIVERSAL
ACCESS
We support faster and more inclusive innovation via Data Collaboration that's powered by owner-defined access grants and data-centricity, not copies
