Early notes from Project VRM Workshop 2008
July 14, 2008 by Trent Adams
It’s the morning of day one of the first Project VRM Workshop. Doc Searls gave a quick intro, while Joe Andrieu outlined some VRM projects already in progress. Much to talk about, and so far Kaliya (aka IdentityWoman) has helpled orchestrate a tightly packed couple days. Looking forward to diving in.
Some Project VRM initiatives and tie-ins in progress:
- Personal RFP - Ability to place a formalized request into the marketplace so that it can be fulfilled by vendors.
- Personal Datastore - Data storage (local or distal) under control of the user as the basis for their personal information.
- Personal Address Manager - A mechanism for managing address changes between users and their vendors.
- Paychoice - A new business model where readers, listeners and viewers can quickly and easily pay for the media they consume.
- RelButton - A representation of the VRM relationship available and the entry point for interaction.
- rCard - A representation for connecting your Personal DataStore with a trusted partner via an “umbilical cord” allowing for two-way communication.
More to come as the sessions are finalized as interesting items pop up.
