Rather than tackle the entire set of options at one swoop, we will focus on on particular class of information, and use that to act as the prototype for others. The class we will use in this initial design is 'Volunteered Personal Information', which in this case we define as the information that an individual will not share under the current modus operandi. This new class of information is discussed many times in our automotive scenario, and in our personal RFP documentation.
We envisage using contract law as the basis for establishing legally binding relationships between information provider (the individual), and information consumer (most typically, an organisation). In that sense, an individual makes information available under contract to any entity that wishes to access it, subject to that organisation being able to accept the terms and conditions associated with that contract.
