The core component of the DTPR open-source communication standard is the taxonomy, a structured way to organise and standardise the definition of key concepts and terms related to digital technology and data governance. These concepts include the type of technology, its purpose, the accountable entity, and data collected. The categories of information were identified as essential by the privacy and responsible technology experts who were part of DTPR’s original development process in 2019.

Specifically, the taxonomy aims to address seven key questions that emerged through consultations with global experts and residents:

  • What is the purpose of this technology?

  • Who is accountable for this technology?

  • What type of technology is this?

  • What type of data is being collected?

  • How is the data processed?

  • How is this data stored?

  • Who can access the data?

While setting up your DTPR implementation, come back to these questions frequently to determine whether you have addressed them.
