* Hands-on workshop: Introduction into the Solid Pods and Solid implementations Patrick Hochstenbach [ORCID: 0000-0001-8390-6171] Ghent University, Belgium This workshop will introduce the Solid project, the protocols and one of its implementations: the IMEC/Inrupt Community Solid Server CSS.
The Solid project promises a solution to get control of your own data and provides a choice who and which applications can have access to this data. The project was started as a response to the mass centralization of personal data by Internet platforms and the effects security breaches of these platforms had on manufacturing of public opinion. Although, the incentive of the project was based on a dissatisfaction with the centralization of personal information, the provided solution doesn’t require a reboot of the Web. In the tradition of open standards, decentralized services and permission less innovation, Solid build protocols to improve the current Web and not replace it. The core Solid protocols follow Semantic Web principles and apply it to management of (personal) data and documents. In this workshop we will discuss the principles behind Solid, the protocols and provides hands-on experience on the current state of the implementations. Requirements: Laptop, Eduroam account, A recent browser (preferably Chrome,Firefox). A check that the system clock time on the laptop is correct (and knowledge how to make this correct).
