The primary aim of our work is to develop a formal framework to manage consent for open-ended data sharing use cases like Digital Public Infrastructures (DPIs). Our framework delves into philosophical, legal and technical aspects of consent to ensure a holistic solution. In this regard, we propose policy-based consent management which resolves consent across 4 key dimensions – ownership, policy compliance, access-control and post-access conditions. The prototype of the work can found at Anumati: Consent Management Service.
Other important aspects of the work include developing an architecture for cross-border data flows in DPIs , developing a consent ontology to understand meaningful consent policies.
