You can listen to and watch the recording the UMA explained webinar presented by Eve Maler and Paul Bryan from Kantara Initiative’s UMA WG. To benefit from the increasing number of services accessible over the Web, we’re forced to “hand over the data” — data that’s sensitive, valuable, and personal — and we end up paying a price in both privacy and convenience. The new User-Managed Access web protocol promises to help web users share their data more selectively using a central digital footprint dashboard, while helping websites get access to fresher and better-quality data when they need it.  This session reviews UMA benefits, progress to date, and next steps.
