Describe your idea:

Database of information held by public bodies about individuals in national databases.

For each database, there should be information about:
* name and description of all the fields it contains, which ones are compulsory
* organisation owning the data
* organisation managing the database
* organisations who can access the data
* data retention rules
* data integrity checks
* available access statistics
etc.

The focus to be (initially) on national databases owned by public bodies holding personal data. Examples of databases to include are the ones highlighted by the FIPR/JRF report.

This would require a lot of manual work, but it would make some information spread over TWFY and WDTK available in a much more usable format.

What problem does it solve?:

* Finding out what information about me can a public body access.

* Finding out which public body owns what information enabling me to send a Subject Access Request to check the accuracy of the information.

* Empowering individuals (small step towards equiveillance).

* Campaigning tool.

Type of idea: A brand new project
