As a PO I want an exploration of Solid Pod functions for access to public products & services and facilitating those using an applicable Pod Provider

[sgort]

For regels.overheid.nl, we work with work packages, these are small jobs for a fixed fee to deliver part functionality (proof of concept), including minimal documentation and tests.

Introduction

Solid is a specification that lets people store their data securely in decentralized data stores called Pods. Pods are like secure personal web servers for your data.

• Any kind of information can be stored in a Solid Pod.
• You control access to the data in your Pod. You decide what data to share and with whom (be it individuals, organizations, and/or applications). Furthermore, you can revoke access at any time.
• To store and access data in your Pod, applications use standard, open, and interoperable data formats and protocols.

You can get a Pod from a Pod Provider, or you may choose to self-host your Pod.
