Re-definitions
Some used definitions should be considered to be replaced by names that better suit their (sometimes generalised) purpose.
| Old Definition | New Definition | Reason | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Participant and Participant Group | (Data) Subject and (Data) Subject Group | More generalised. GDPR compatible. Note: should also require the renaming (with alias for legacy reasons) of PGAR to (D)SGAR | approval pending |
| PEP ID or Participant ID | Origin ID | The Origin ID should only be known and used in the data source(s), and could also have a relevance outside of PEP. PEP ID could mean anything. |
approval pending |
| Short Pseudonym | Reference ID | Avoids confusion with other pseudonyms. More intention revealing. | approval pending |
| Participant Alias | Brief Local Pseudonym | Yet another completely different terminology (introducing Participant in the Local Pseudonym naming, and Alias where it's actually an abbreviation) creates confusion. Renaming the Short Pseudonyms could allow for this new definition. | unknown |
| Pseudonymisation Namespace | (Pseudonymisation) Domain | Compatibility with Job, and easier naming for end users. | discussion |
| Access Groups or Roles (in the case of User Groups) | User Groups | The definition has always mainly been about Users in UserGroups, but also Access Groups or Roles have been used as synonyms. We will try to stop using these terms to avoid confusion. |
