The Personal Information Management Systems (PIMS) concept offers a new approach in which individuals are the “holders” of their own personal information. PIMS allow individuals to manage their personal data in secure, local or online storage systems and share them when and with whom they choose. Individuals would be able to decide what services can use their data, and what third parties can share them.
The PIMcity.eu project provides a development kit (PDK) to simplify the complexity of creating PIMS-based solutions and we demonstrate the effectiveness of the tools created with the implementation of EasyPIMS.eu, a demonstrator that allows us to test with real users.
