The Threat of Mobile Data

I've been thinking about this issue for a while. How to make sure your data maintains its integrity and how to share it across various services securely? This post discusses the problem of data mobility across apps; tricky due to ownership issues and all the politics that entails.

Tim O'Reilly also talks about this problem: Shouldn't he be able to point his family tree web site to the data that his genome web site has, for that part of his data. This paradigm is really useful for project's like Sun's Liberty Project or the OpenID standard. A user has 1 set of authentication/authorisation data that is used by any site that wants to manage that user.
