Mydex announced this week at IIW Europe [1] and via Youtube video [2] that they are launching the Mydex Community Prototype (MCP), which will give people a personal data store (PDS) that allows them to share their data with parties they trust, including UK government entities such as Brent Council, the Royal Borough of Maidenhead and Windsor, and others. The technology behind the MCP is the Higgins Personal Data Store 2.0. [3] The story was picked up by several press outlets.
