It contains in particular:

  • Results from a public online consultation on the question whether personal information management is perceived as an interesting way forward for a wider public;
  • A detailed description of the current service offerings in the area of personal information management in Europe, including technological and commercial readiness of the service offerings;
  • A description of future R & I challenges and other potential areas of public (and EC) intervention.
