Topic 3: Operator visualisations

Diagrams [whole paper]

What diagrams / images we want to use and what do we want to communicate with them (diagrams are very powerful tools and need to be used thoughtfully)?

​

Memo document here

• identify the parts of the paper that will be affected mostly

​

• make your best realistic guess on the potentially differing views and arguments we might have in the group related to your topic, list the views

​

• elaborate your base proposal on how the topic should be treated in the paper (what do we say about it and in which part of the paper and what we leave out / for future work)

Line of reasoning

1. Operator thematic group wants to create a baseline paper to define the field and clarify points of discussion
2. Different visualisations have been used to support the research
3. We aim at the simplest, yet satisfying visualisation, to bring the message
1. Truthful - no oversimplification
2. Undisputed - easy to point out elements of discussion, but not taking a specific standpoint
3. Descriptive, not normative - oriented towards functionality
4. Aiming at pragmatics, conveying a message, not on formal semantics
5. Should allow to pinpoint differences as well as similarities of different proto-operators, separate apples and oranges - could lead to new visualisations
6. Hints at the complexity, exposes potential conflicts and tensions, without going “into the horrible details”
4. Necessary: keep the MyData style in tact

• Find how/where the connection can be done?
• Manage the permissions for the data to be exchanged?
• Exchange the data itself?
• Identifying Sarah, the NHS?
• Check what Oura and NHS do with the data?
• Update or add information?
• Ensure the data is not changed?

.. and what if there are many sources, and many data using services involved?

Basic role model MyData/ eco system - UNDISPUTED -except for

the arrows

Caution: roles vs. entities!

Model as shown in 2018 Finnish-only paper

Reference model Digital We/discussion paper - applied to number of proto-operators (high-level and detailed)

• Well-defined and validated
• Should include value exchange as well
• Too detailed for some of the discussions
• How significant are the relative positions?

Finnish MyData infrastructure paper / Cities & Mydata:

• Simplified structure
• Includes semantics
• Technology oriented, with business implications/functional aspects

IHAN blueprint 2.5:

• Similar roles, similar layering
• Very specific functionality / architectural choices
• Nothing on trust network / governance

Towards a conclusion

• The role model is a first level
• Eventually, technological choices should be visualised / pointed to
• Missing levels: business and functional (descriptive).
• In terms of enterprise architecture: should describe business layer and link to application layer
• Functionality is a ecosystem level
• Governance, value exchange, semantics should be included

Who I am and what is allowed?

Who is in the ecosystem my operator works with? And under what conditions?

How do we share and how do we understand each other?

Make it right - governance & accountability

Who is playing and what are the rules? Who is in charge?
