OIDF & DSB | Technical Workshop & the Consumer Data Standards

The Australian government has introduced aConsumer Data Rightgiving consumers greater control over their data. Part of this right requires the creation of common data standards that make it easier and safer for consumers to access data held about them by businesses, and – if they choose to – share this data via application programming interfaces (APIs) with trusted third parties.The Data Standards Body (DSB) has been established by the Australian Government to deliver open data standards that support the CDR in empowering Australian consumers to share their data simply and safely with organisations of their choosing. The DSB is responsible for assisting Mr Andrew Stevens, the Data Standards Chair, in the development of common data standards to allow Australians to access data held about them by businesses and direct its safe transfer to others.The work of standards development is conducted in close consultation with theAustralian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)as lead regulator of the Consumer Data Right, supported by theOffice of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).The Consumer Data Right is intended to apply sector by sector across the whole economy, beginning in the banking sector. The next step for Consumer Data Right is in the energy and telecommunications sectors with other sectors to follow.A number ofworking groupshave been established to support the DSB in designing and testing the open standards it develops. Input provided by the Data Standards Advisory Committee and various working groups, alongside draft guidance materials, API specifications, consumer experience (CX) requirements, and implementation materials are being shared on this website and onGitHub.For more information, contactcontact@consumerdatastandards.gov.au.

Consumer Data Standards

The OpenID Foundation (OIDF) and the Australian Data Standards Body (DSB) are proud to announce a series of workshops in April and May 2021

About the WorkshopObjectives:<ul><li>Comprehensive Overview FAPI</li><li>Live Conformance Test and Certification Request of an AU Implementation</li><li>Questions &amp; Answers</li></ul>Limited spacesWhile space in an online forum is less constrained than in a physical space, for management of the workshop we do ask organisations to manage their number of attendees.We have enabled group registration to assist with participant management per organisation.RecordingData Standards workshops are recorded for research purposes. All recordings are kept securely, as are the transcripts which may be made from them. No identifying material shall be provided without the participant&#x27;s consent. Participants may contact@consumerdatastandards.gov.au should they have any further questions or wish to have any material redacted from the record.Workshop typeThe second workshop is a deeper technical dive that will include the FAPI roadmap including FAPI 2.0, comprehensive demonstration of the FAPI conformance suite including PAR and CDR test and a live demonstration of an AU FAPI implementation going through conformance testing.Location and dateThe workshop will be held online and facilitated by the OIDF and Data Standards Body team. Online tools will announced closer to the workshop date.AudienceThis workshop is focused for technical stakeholders of CDR participants including service providers, consumer advocates and software vendors. Further workshopsTechnical workshops will look at technical data standards and the FAPI 2.0 roadmap in future iterations of the Standards.Dates and high-level agendas for future workshops will be published in due course, based partly on the feedback received at this workshop. We are cognizant of the many exceptional demands being placed on organisations and individuals at this time and we will adjust our timelines appropriately to support progress at a manageable pace.Engagement with the Consumer Data Standards teamFor those keen to engage with us you can:Check out our website: <a href="https://consumerdatastandards.gov.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://consumerdatastandards.gov.au/</a>Read the standards <a href="https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/#introduction" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.Sign up to the Technical Working Group <a href="https://consumerdatastandards.gov.au/workinggroups/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://csiro.us18.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=fb3bcb1ec5662d9767ab3c414&amp;id=a4414b3906" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here </a>Engagement with the FoundationVisit the OpenID Foundation website: <a href="http://www.openid.net" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.openid.net</a>For detailed information on the Financial-grade API (FAPI) specification including FAQ please visit: <a href="https://openid.net/wg/fapi/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://openid.net/wg/fapi/ </a>Learn more about FAPI conformance and certification here: <a href="https://openid.net/certification/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://openid.net/certification/</a><a href="https://consumerdatastandards.gov.au/workinggroups/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>About the Consumer Data RightThe Consumer Data Right (CDR) is a competition and consumer reform which will allow consumers to require a company such as their energy retailer to share their data with an accredited service provider such as a comparison site to get more tailored, competitive services. Consumers will need to consent and authorise their data to be shared under the CDR. Data61 (as the appointed Data Standards Body) is supporting the development of the technical standards that underpin and enable the CDR. Having initially developed standards to meet the needs of the banking sector the focus has now shifted to the energy sector.This event is hosted by the Data Standards Body Technical Working Group, which focuses on functional requirements for CDR API&#x27;s and information security standards, including authorisation and authentication flows. The Technical Working Group is a consultative body that provides recommendations to the Chair of the Data Standards Body who will take into account those recommendations in the course of setting and amending the Consumer Data Standards. About the OpenID FoundationThe OpenID Foundation (OIDF) promotes, protects and nurtures the OpenID community and technologies.The OpenID Foundation is a non-profit international standardization organization of individuals and companies committed to enabling, promoting and protecting OpenID technologies. Formed in June 2007, the Foundation serves as a public trust organization representing the open community of developers, vendors, and users.
