Netherlands’ AMdEX seeks to democratise the internet
Summary
But innovation, or just that extra step taken, so that a product or service better meets the demands and needs of a target group ultimately comes from sharing data. “We want to support the common public interest by facilitating and recording generic mutual agreements about property rights. Journalists can use it, for example, to see what happens to the water quality when the weather is hot and there is a lot of swimming.” This information was not previously available, but through AMdEX, interested parties can now obtain it. For both data owners and users, it is nice to have an independent digital notary pulling the strings in the background, he added. “At the moment, this works well in small, limited cases, but if we want to democratise the internet, it must be possible to do this automatically on a large scale,” said Koeman.
