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

Title: OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY

Objectives of this Study

Being the starting point of Work Package 11, FIDIS deliverable D3.3: “Study on Mobile Identity Management“ mainly focuses on the technical dimension of mobile identity management and the related technological aspects (cp. chapter ). However, this is only a very limited view upon this topical cluster. In order to broaden the general scope of the discussions within Work Package 11, this deliverable focuses on the other relevant aspects of mobility and identity, such as legal aspects and sociology (this study) or economic aspects (deliverable D11.3), in order to present other perspectives.

In general, the topical fields being identified and worked on in Work Package 11 include not only technological aspects, but also socio-cultural, governmental (legal, etc.), and economical aspects. However, each of these individual topics represents a microcosm for its own, allowing the identification of further overlaps and future research topics in Work Package 11 (cp. chapter ).

Furthermore, looking at , one can easily see that the presented clusters have a lot of overlap with each other. Therefore this study should serve as the foundation for the future work of Work Package 11 and as an initial collection of the relevant topics and clusters. Furthermore, this is done to identify and to show the interdisciplinary aspects, linking the different fields to the work done in FIDIS. Also it should help to build a common view on the topic of mobility and identity – towards taxonomy of mobility and identity.

Last but not least, it is the collection of the relevant terminology, adding its finding to the FIDIS identity concept and the terminology being edited by Work Package 2 and the Wiki on Identity related Terms (FIDIS Wiki).
