Our World Faces a Profound Problem with Data and Trust… Data propagates online without essential metadata to document ownership, to define terms of use, or to record its history. Our cultural lack of trust in data is also fundamentally incompatible with an open, participatory, and free digital society. This lack of trust is the root cause of most data challenges facing organizations of all sizes as well as humanity as a whole. Smart Data Protocol binds software to data as it moves… to give our data self-awareness and intelligence to assert its ownership, to record its history, and to enforce the terms of any contained agreements. The Smart Data Protocol is the missing licensing solution to build practical applications with digital assets. 1. The Smart Data Protocol is the patent-holding missing licensing protocol for highly tailored and transient digital asset reuse equipped with secure access revocation by digital asset owners. 2. Smart Data Protocol is the direct link between digital asset creators and their enforceable ownership enabling sophisticated licensing monetization. 3. Smart Data is the Distributed Data Fabric and Digital Rights Management Protocol for interoperable Web3 applications and the future of the Internet. Because we can revoke access and remotely tailor the uses of digital assets in a distributed environment.
