Purpose and Principles
Empower people and organizations to have full control over their data and enable secure, trusted data sharing.
Establish the iSHARE Trust Framework for data rights as a global, interoperable standard for data sharing and data autonomy to drive innovation and sustainability.
Core principles
Things should be clear and easy to understand
iSHARE keeps its rules open and adaptable, so everyone knows how things work
People should be able to trust the system
iSHARE makes sure the right people get access to the right data, in a safe and secure way
Empowering all organisations equally and equitably
iSHARE recognises diverse needs and enables all organisations, regardless of size or background, to participate on equal foundation
Control over your own data and decisions
iSHARE allows each party to decide who can access which data, under what conditions, and for how long—ensuring full control at all times
Sharing and working together
iSHARE is open-source. Anyone can use it, improve it, and help make it better for everyone
Different systems should work well together
iSHARE fits with existing tools and standards, so organisations don’t have to start from scratch
