What is the Internet of Data (IoD)?
A vast network of interconnected data available online, typically structured and accessible using standards like RDF and SPARQL. IoD enables the creation of interoperable data-driven applications and services.
What is the relationship between the IoD and the Internet of Things (IoT)?
The IoD is an essential part of the larger concept of the IoT, which refers to the interconnectedness of physical devices and objects equipped with sensors and connected to the internet.
What is KYC (Know Your Customer)?
The process used by financial institutions and other organizations to verify the identity of their clients and assess their potential risk for money laundering or financing terrorism.
How the IoD could be used as a component of a KYC solution?
Verification of identity information:
Data from various sources, such as government databases, could be accessed and queried via the Internet of Data to verify the accuracy and authenticity of a customer’s identity information.
Data interoperability:
The Internet of Data could facilitate the exchange and interoperability of data between different financial institutions and regulatory bodies, enabling more efficient and effective KYC processes.
Risk assessment:
Data from multiple sources could be analyzed and combined using the Internet of Data to assess the risk profile of a customer or client.
Ongoing monitoring:
Organizations can implement IoD applications to continuously monitor a customer’s activities and transactions for any suspicious or unusual activity.

IOD Applications (beyond KYC)
By making data more easily accessible, the Internet of Data can help to increase transparency and accountability in various sectors, such as government, business, and civil society. Publicizing data about these sectors' operations and activities can hold them accountable for their actions.
The availability of data on how a government spends funds could increase public funds' transparency and accountability. Similarly, publishing data about business operations' environmental impacts could improve transparency and accountability in the private sector.
By making data more easily accessible and queryable, the Internet of Data can help organizations and individuals to make more informed decisions based on data-driven insights: This can be achieved by using data analytics tools to extract insights and trends or machine learning algorithms to make predictions or recommendations based on data.
The IOD could also be used to support data-driven decision-making at the individual level by providing individuals with access to data and tools that they can use to make more informed decisions about their own lives and careers.
The Internet of Data can provide a wealth of information and resources for research, allowing individuals and organizations to access and analyze data from various sources. By providing access to vast data, the IOD could accelerate research and discovery and support the development of new knowledge and understanding.
Nowadays, most data are used once to produce information: when data supporting research are consumed, they can not be utilized in other studies. IoD maximizes data entropy and availability.
The Internet of Data can help to break down data silos and facilitate the exchange and interoperability of data between different systems and organizations. For instance, data standards and protocols facilitating data exchange and data-sharing platforms or marketplaces allow organizations to access and use data from multiple sources.
By enabling data interoperability, the IOD could create new opportunities for collaboration and innovation and support more efficient and effective operations and services.
IoD can support the delivery of public services in several ways. For example, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery by providing data access to optimize resource allocation and targeting. IoD could also be used to increase transparency and accountability in the delivery of public services by making data about service delivery publicly available.
Finally, the IOD can create new public services based on data, such as data-driven personalization or predictive analytics.
