SPECIAL uses the Linked Data paradigm
- All data items are identified by Internationalised Resource Identifiers (IRI’s)
- By using HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) IRI’s, everything is potentially linkable
- IRI’s allow SPECIAL to associate usage constraints with personal data at different levels of granularity
