data exhaust (Data Visible and Invisible): Yet increasingly, the real wealth of data out there is what is known as "massive passive data," or "data exhaust." It's the personal information corporations collect about what products their customers buy and about how they use digital services. It is the digital trails we leave behind, merely by going about our daily lives. It is the data that powers business, which the World Economic Forum has described as a new asset class. (†298)
data philanthropy (Data Philanthropy): We've [UN Global Pulse] spoken publicly about the concept called data philanthropy, whereby the private sector shares data to support more timely and targeted policy action. And while, architecturally, it's not clear what form or forms data philanthropy could take, we like the term as it drives home the message that shared data is a public good.
