Questions
What is ex omnia?
ex omnia described itself as “the most collaborative data platform” and “the world’s most open and collaborative data platform”. Further product details are to be provided by the company.
What does “ex omnia” mean?
It is Latin for “out of everything” or “from all”.
What makes a data platform “collaborative”?
Shared versions instead of copies, visible history, review of changes, documentation and discussion next to the data. See What is collaborative data?
What is open data?
Data anyone can freely access, use, modify and share, at most subject to attribution and share-alike. See open data.
Is open data the same as FAIR data?
No. FAIR is about how findable and reusable data is; it can still be access-controlled. See FAIR.
Can personal data be shared openly?
Generally not. Use aggregation, proper anonymisation, controlled access or clean rooms. See privacy and GDPR.
