Introduction
The Human Colossus Foundation (HCF) is a Swiss-based independent non-profit organisation (IDE: CHE-441.741.202) working globally to create and foster the development of critical infrastructure for a data-agile economy, coined the Dynamic Data Economy (DDE). Founded in 2020 by Phillippe Page, Paul Knowles, and Robert Mitwicki, who first met at a MyData Conference, the Foundation believes that a Dynamic Data Economy can empower people to use sovereign reason to attain objects or put ideas into effect without being beholden to third-party operators siloing and processing personal data, leaving individuals to enjoy their fundamental right to achieve prosperity, freedom, fairness, and education unencumbered by network-based perimeters.
Philippe Page
Head of the Knowledge Council
Philippe Page (PhD) is a leading figure in distributed governance methodology and a true pioneer in distributed data governance operations and frameworks. His data governance expertise stems from a 20-year career in finance where he witnessed enterprise digital transformation from the inside within international banks, e.g. EFG Group, Deutsche Bank, and as a C-suite executive for Mirabaud, a Geneva-based private bank.
Paul Knowles
Head of the Advisory Council
Paul Knowles, the founding father of 'Decentralised Semantics,' created the groundbreaking Overlays Capture Architecture (OCA) to revolutionize data harmonization in the Dynamic Data Economy (DDE). With a 25-year career in Clinical Data Management (CDM), he has led transformative data integration and semantics projects for top pharmaceutical companies, including Roche, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Amgen, and Pfizer.
Robert Mitwicki
Head of the Technology Council
Robert Mitwicki is a pioneer in decentralised core utility technologies. He invented and is leading the development of the SELF Actioning System (SAS), a key DDE software interface component that provides a way to look at and interact with information in distributed data ecosystems. His reputation as a decentralised technology expert and innovator stems from high-level software design decisions that continue to shape the DDE.
Dynamic Data Economy
Inspired by the co-founders' aspiration for accurate real-time data management in an ever more decentralised world, the Foundation coined the term Dynamic Data Economy (DDE) to empower people and businesses to make better-informed decisions based on insights from harmonised data framed by sound data governance. The DDE will enable a new data-centric paradigm for advancing our digital living, interaction, and growth, underpinned by the critical infrastructure to facilitate new structures free from existing economic models while providing bridges to existing standards and legacy infrastructure, respecting jurisdictional and human differences. The Foundation released DDE v1.0 in July 2022, with launches of the DDE v1.0 technology suite and community forum planned in the following months.
The DDE Principles
The DDE is a decentralised trust infrastructure aligned with the European data strategy. The DDE Principles extend foundational guiding principles that cover the core data domains of Semantic, Inputs, Governance, and Economic. The DDE conceptual infrastructure gives equal importance to the four core data domains, which respectively adhere to the DDE principles: objectual integrity, factual authenticity, consensual veracity, and transactional sovereignty, enabling data ecosystem actors to share accurate information bilaterally in a zero trust environment.
The DDE Stack
To better define and describe what contributes most notably to creating a cross-sectoral trust infrastructure for access and use of data according to the DDE principles, the Foundation developed the DDE Trust Infrastructure Stack that presents "Infrastructure" versus "Security" incrementally through the core data domains. Deployed implementations that align with the Stack will positively affect the relationship between participating actors, incentivising them to share horizontal data across sectors and jurisdictions.
Founding Donors’ Programme
HCF has secured multiple rounds of government and private funding to build the initial core public utilities for the DDE. With the rollout of the DDE v1.0 in 2022, HCF opens up limited funding opportunities to strategic donors in the private sector through the Founding Donors' Programme to fuel the next development phase and early adoption of the DDE.
