D11.1: Collection of Topics and Clusters of Mobility and Identity – Towards a Taxonomy of Mobility and Identity

Title: PURPOSE OF THIS DELIVERABLE

Purpose of this Deliverable

This deliverable focuses on the topic of ‘mobility and identity’ and its related facets as initial starting point for the future work of Work Package 11 (“Mobility and Identity”).  

While FIDIS deliverable D3.3: “Study on Mobile Identity Management”, primarily focuses on the technical dimension of mobile identity management, D11.1 aims to broaden the general scope of the discussions in WP11 in order to link the technical aspects to their societal context. This is done by means of an analysis of the central concepts of both identity and mobility, referring to relevant sociological literature and by means of an analysis or the relevant legal framework. As such this deliverable should provide the tools to build a common view on the topic of mobility and identity. However, due to the many interdisciplinary aspects (e.g. sociology, legal, etc.), this study cannot by exhaustive, but the foundation towards a taxonomy of mobility and identity. 

Moreover, this study also serves as a collection of terms and definitions in order to build a common terminology, adding up to the definitions build by the work of FIDIS Work Package 2: “Identity of Identity”. The described concepts and definitions will be integrated into the Wiki on Identity related Terms (FIDIS Wiki), in order to enhance the FIDIS identity concept towards mobility and identity.
