Tech Paper 2021: This paper explores the BBC’s Public Service Data Ecosystem (PSDE), demonstrating how trusted data management can enhance media recommendations while addressing legal, privacy, security, and design challenges.
Abstract
We are exploring how the BBC can develop services underpinned by trusted management of data in line with the BBC’s values. These services are delivered within an emerging model we have named the ‘public service data ecosystem’ (PSDE), a set of components which work together to provide a secure and effective platform for public service applications, and which are able to integrate personal data with open data, aggregate data, and data from sources such as IoT devices.
