The data chicken and egg problem

Author

  • Håkan Jonsson

Summary, in English

Creating context aware consumer applications or other user data-driven applications require user data in order to model the user and her context. For users to give up personal data they want value from the data collecting application. So how can we provide the value to get the data when we need the data to provide the value, without intruding on the user’s privacy or violating her trust in the application? In this paper we name the problem, formulate a data usage design principle and discuss some potential solutions to the problem.
