Purpose and Principles
Mission
Empower people and organizations to have full control over their data and enable secure, trusted data sharing.
Vision
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
Transparency
- Things should be clear and easy to understand
- iSHARE keeps its rules open and adaptable, so everyone knows how things work
Reliability
- 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
Fairness
- Empowering all organisations equally and equitably
- iSHARE recognises diverse needs and enables all organisations, regardless of size or background, to participate on equal foundation
Autonomy
- 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
Openness
- Sharing and working together
- iSHARE is open-source. Anyone can use it, improve it, and help make it better for everyone
Interoperability
- Different systems should work well together
- iSHARE fits with existing tools and standards, so organisations don’t have to start from scratch
