Collaboration between the European Commission and Inrupt on the development of decentralized data governance solutions

Can someone please shine light on this…

“Collaboration between the European Commission and Inrupt on the development of decentralized data governance solutions”

I am currently doing research for my University course and I have come across remaining footprints on the web RE the above statement. Yet, all sources to this information lead to a 404 page not found and I cannot find any other sources.

Is this statement true and if so, why have all the sources on the web been removed?

Appreciate any help or guidance anyone can offer.

Many thanks

Ritchie

Where did you find the quote in the first place? (I’d also expect that, if there is something like that and you can’t find it on Inrupt’s site, that it’s simply not public yet, in which case I also wouldn’t expect anyone to come and confirm it here :slight_smile: )

These are all articles from 2021 confirming the statement, but they have all turned into 404 page not found. I am really confused as to why that would be? Unless it was reported incorrectly and Solid have requested that these articles are removed. In which case, I was just looking for confirmation of this so that I could update my research with the facts. However, after digging a little deeper it does look like the DID standard has been proposed for the EU digital wallet, so I am assuming that there is a connection here. Therefore, in the name of transparency I am just hoping I can gain some insights into this to writeup correctly. :slight_smile:

Where did you get the links to those articles from?

I had them bookmarked for future reference but now the pages have vanished, which has left me at a bit of a dead end for my research! :confused:

Ah OK. And I suppose you bookmarked them back in 2021 and don’t remember where you saw the links when you bookmarked them?

Yes, unfortunately.
