Data Transfer Project

  • Use Cases
    • discovers new service wants to import
    • user wants to stop and wants their data
    • transfer between download and upload
    • many more
    • these use cases are after the fact , why not start from our sites to our servies
    • I want to use services like Google photo recognition but not store my photos of Google
    • Not just export, but on the import. All of the use cases are after the fact, portability can start at publish from my site.
      • Google treats the photo as a copy and knows it is originally on our websites
      • micropub would allow for greater portability
    • sync between services
  • Ability to have Creative Commons or other licensing to follow the content along
    • If I put a video on YouTube with a CC-By license (an option) no one can actually remix and adapt because downloading the video may violate YouTube's ToS.
  • What is data transfer project
    • connect any two online services
    • enable user data transfer
  • Example
    • Twitter photos
    • SmugMug/Flickr
    • email to email
  • Prototype
