UMA webinar recording now available

User-Managed Access (UMA) lets web application creators easily craft systems that give control of data back to the people. Any web-based data ecosystem can leverage UMA, including eHealth and eGov portals, social networking sites, photo sharing portals, and personal data stores. It offers individuals centralized security, privacy, and control for sharing data with friends and family, business associates, and organizations. And it allows apps to offer sophisticated privacy and sharing options without a lot of software development. One UMA implementation, the SMART system from Newcastle University, leverages Facebook friends for sharing; others could use the new Google+ Circles system, which allows sharing within circles of contacts.

The audio and video recording of the UMA webinar from July 13 is available at http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/Home or http://bit.ly/UMAWebinar110713
