You own your data, and share it with the apps and people you choose.

Solid defines a standard-based architecture to enable ubiquitous data access

  • Data representation - RDF
  • Universal identifiers - WebID
  • Security and authentication - WebID-TLS
  • Data access interfaces - Linked Data Platform

See Solid spec for more information: https://github.com/solid/solid#standards-used
