Today’s world is data-driven.

In such a world,
companies depend on data
in order to innovate.

The fallacy is that
companies assume they
have to harvest that data.

Solid is about choice.

The Solid ecosystem enables
people to pick apps they need,
storing data where they want.

People control their data,
and share it with the apps
and people they choose.

Every piece of data a person produces
goes into their personal knowledge graph.

They can grant apps and people access
to specific parts of their knowledge graph.

Separating apps from graphs
drives independent innovation.
