Introduction

This interactive whitepaper aims to establish a standardised method of requesting data from data processors and controllers in the European Union.

The whitepaper is substantiated by an API proposal definition, following the OpenAPI 3 specification. Documentation for the API specification is available here. Additionally, the whitepaper describes a background, and rationale for a data request API, a substantive proposal and considerations for future use.

The Open Data Rights API is a work in progress. Both the API specification and this document are tracked in a GitHub repository. Comments, feedback and discussions are welcomed in the GitHub issues section of this repository. Pull requests are welcomed as well. Any further questions or comments can be directed to Lei Nelissen.
