About Us

   Based at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the
   Decentralized Information Group is led by [10]Tim Berners-Lee and [11]Lalana
   Kagal.

   We are interested in investigating decentralized techniques and technologies that
   effect social change. We are exploring how to radically change the way Web
   applications work today, resulting in decentralized architectures that enable
   true data ownership with the [12]Solid project; working on frameworks that ensure
   information can be shared, used, and manipulated in a way that is compliant with
   regulation, business rules, social norms, and user preferences; investigating
   methodologies to make algorithms trustworthy and accountable, as well as
   harnessing mobile technologies for disaster relief.

   DIG's work is closely coordinated with the activities of the [13]World Wide Web
   Consortium, the international standards-setting organization for the Web. We are
   also associated with the [14]Internet Policy Research Initiative.

Some of our Projects

   [15]Solid

   [16]Solid: Solid (derived from "social linked data") is a proposed set of
   conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications based on
   Linked Data principles. The project aims to radically change the way Web
   applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved
   privacy. [[17]Paper, [18]Presentation]

   [19]Punya

   [20]Punya: An application platform for building mobile Linked Data apps with
   specific functionality for disaster management. [[21]Paper, [22]Demo]
   [23]Tabulator FF Extension
   [24]Tabulator Extension: A Firefox Extension that provides a human-readable
   interface for linked data. It is based on the [25]Tabulator browser for Semantic
   Web information (RDF). [[26]Paper, [27]Presentation] [28]Semantic Clipboard
   [29]Semantic Clipboard: An enhancement to the Tabulator Extension that allows
   cutting and pasting of pictures that preserves policy information such as the
   copyright license. [[30]Paper, [31]Presentation, [32]Screencast]
