Information Commons: Concept of Disclosing Public Information in an Era of Personal Privacy and Information Protection

Overview The Internet has been eliminating the asymmetry of information between governments and citizens and has been helping to foster public awareness in Japanese society. However, a lot of information that should be public is being concealed in the name of personal data protection. To promote the disclosure and sharing of such information, one should create a world in which public information can be shared among every citizen, while personal data is protected at the same time. That is, one should embrace the concept of "Information Commons." This paper introduces the concept of Information Commons and the technologies for realizing it, focusing on the significant social impact these technologies would have in the applied fields.
