Introduction

Overlays Capture Architecture (OCA) offers a solution to harmonisation between data models and data representation formats. Primarily devised for semantic object interoperability and privacy compliant data sharing, OCA is a proposed global standard for data capture that promises to significantly enhance the ability to define, manage, and use data in terms of simplicity, accuracy, and allocation of resources.Overlays Capture Architecture (OCA) offers a solution to harmonisation between data models and data representation formats. Primarily devised for semantic object interoperability and privacy compliant data sharing, OCA is a proposed global standard for data capture that promises to significantly enhance the ability to define, manage, and use data in terms of simplicity, accuracy, and allocation of resources.

OCA represents a form (domain-agnostic) and schema (domain-specific) as a multi-dimensional object consisting of a stable Capture Base and interoperable Overlays. By introducing Overlays as task-oriented linked objects within the OCA stack, the architecture offers an optimal level of both efficiency and interoperability in alignment with FAIR principles.

OCA overview

The FAIR Data Principlesopen in new window (Wilkinson et al., 2016), a set of guiding principles to make data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable; guide scientific data management and stewardship; and are relevant to all digital economy stakeholders.

Capture base

A Capture Base is a stable base object that defines a single dataset in its purest form, providing a standard base to harmonise data. The object defines attribute names and types. The construct also includes a flagging block, allowing the issuer of a form or schema to flag any attributes where identifying information about entities* may be captured. With flagged attributes, all corresponding data can be treated as high-risk throughout the data lifecycle and encrypted or removed at any stage, reducing the risk of re-identification attacks against blinded datasets.

Attribute name

An attribute name is a string that identifies an attribute.

Attribute type

An attribute type determines the attribute's syntax and how attributes of that type are compared and sorted. A Capture Base recognises seven core attribute types:

  • Text: a data type that defines a human-readable sequence of characters and the words they form, subsequently encoded into computer-readable formats such as ASCII.
  • Numeric: a data type that defines anything of, relating to, or containing numbers. The numbering system consists of ten different digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
  • Reference: a data type that defines a self-addressing identifier (SAI) that references a set of attributes through its associated parent. SAID is an identifier that is deterministically generated from and embedded in the content it identifies, making it and its data mutually tamper-evident.
  • Boolean: a data type where the data only has two possible variables: true or false. In computer science, Boolean is an identification classifier for working out logical truth values and algebraic variables.
  • Binary: a data type that defines a binary code signal, a series of electrical pulses representing numbers, characters, and performed operations. Based on a binary number system, each digit position represents a power of two (e.g., 4, 8, 16, etc.). In binary code, a set of four binary digits or bits represents each decimal number (0 to 9). Each digit only has two possible states: off and on (usually symbolised by 0 and 1). Combining basic Boolean algebraic operations on binary numbers makes it possible to represent each of the four fundamental arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  • DateTime: a data type that defines the number of seconds or clock ticks that have elapsed since the defined epoch for that computer or platform. Common formats (see 'Format Overlay') include dates (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD), times (e.g., hh:mm:ss), dates and times concatenated (e.g., YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss+zz:zz), and durations (e.g., PnYnMnD).
  • Array [attribute type]: a data type that defines a structure that holds several data items or elements of the same data type. When you want to store many pieces of data that are related and have the same data type, it is often better to use an array instead of many separate variables (e.g. array[text], array[numeric], etc.).

Flagged attributes

Any attributes defined in a Capture Base that may contain identifying information about entities* (i.e., personally identifiable information (PII) or quasi-identifiable information (QII)) can be flagged. The Blinding Identity Taxonomyopen in new window (BIT), a definitive list of what constitutes identifying information, is available at hereopen in new window.

*Note: Entities may be (but not necessarily) natural persons.

Overlays

Overlays are cryptographically-linked objects that provide layers of task-oriented contextual information to a Capture Base. Any actor interacting with a published Capture Base can use Overlays to transform how information is displayed to a viewer or guide an agent in applying a custom process to captured data.

Semantic Overlays

Semantic overlays provide contextual meaning to describe objects and their relationships, including attributes, forms, and schemas.

Character Encoding Overlay

A Character Encoding Overlay defines the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using digital computers. Character encoding using internationally accepted standards permits worldwide interchange of text in electronic form. The default character set is UTF-8, which is the most common encoding for the World Wide Web, accounting for 98% of all web pages, and up to 100.0% for some languages, as of 2021.

Examples: ASCII, ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, etc.

Format Overlay

A Format Overlay defines an input and display format for numeric and date fields. The data format enables the conversion of the input buffer to the program variable and displays program variable data to form fields.

Examples: YYYY-MM-DD, (?<=:25:)\d{8}(?=/), (\d+(,\d*)?)|(,\d+), etc.

Standards Overlay

A Standards Overlay defines a documented agreement or technical specification published by a standards organisation used to represent, format, define, structure, tag, transmit, manipulate, use, and manage data.

Examples: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, SNOMED CT, IETF RFC 2246 (1999), etc.

Inputs Overlays

Inputs overlays provide predefined inputs for data attestations, including claims, credentials, and records.

OCA Input

In a balanced network, inputs overlays determine what is put in, taken in, or operated on by any process or system.

Cardinality Overlay

A Cardinality Overlay defines the relational information between attributes, which later models need when modelling the actual table architecture. For example, without knowing the relationship cardinality, one cannot model the tables and key restrictions between them. Typical uses include setting data entry requirements on specific fields (i.e., Mandatory or Optional) and setting conditional attribute dependencies according to the chosen entries of a parent attribute.

TODO

Code snippet for a Cardinality Overlay

Conditional Overlay

A Conditional Overlay defines conditional logic where input conditions for one attribute cause a process change to another. It also allows the application of a child schema based on the outcome of a parent schema, much like the if/then/else constructs seen in traditional programming languages.

Entry Code Overlay

An Entry Code Overlay defines the entry keys in a series of key-value pairs stored in a code table (aka lookup table) or dataset. The key is a unique identifier that points to its associated value.

Examples: CA, CA-BC, NA, etc.

Entry Overlay

[language-specific object]

An Entry Overlay defines the entry values in a series of key-value pairs stored in a code table (aka lookup table) or dataset. A value is either the identified data or a pointer to that data.

Examples: Canada, British Columbia, North America, etc.

Unit Overlay

A Unit Overlay defines the units of measurement adopted by convention or law, used as a standard for measuring the same kind of quantity. The recommended system to use is the International System of Units (SI), French Système International d’Unités, an international decimal system of weights and measures derived from and extending the metric system of units. Adopted by the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1960, it is abbreviated SI in all languages. To date, the SI comprises seven base units: the meter (m), the kilogram (kg), the second (s), the ampere (A), the kelvin (K), the candela (cd) and the mole (mol). More information on the SI is available hereopen in new window.

Transformation Overlays

Transformation overlays provide information to convert data from one format or structure to another, such as raw data to processed, or unstructured to structured.

Mapping Overlay

A Mapping Overlay defines attribute mappings between two distinct data models. Data mapping provides a preliminary step for data integration tasks, including data transformation or data mediation between a data source and a destination or consolidation of multiple databases into a single database and identifying redundant columns of data for consolidation or elimination.

Masking Overlay

A Masking Overlay defines the process of masking or obfuscating sensitive data so that it is of no or little value to unauthorised intruders while still being usable by software or authorised personnel. The main reason for applying masking to a data field is to protect personally identifiable, quasi-identifiable, sensitive personal, or commercially sensitive data.

Subset Overlay

A Subset Overlay defines a customised version of a published schema or form containing a subset of source attributes, including their properties, types, codes, and relationship dependencies required for the information exchange.

Presentation Overlays

Presentation overlays provide information to display data objects at the application layer, including forms and credentials.

Credential Layout Overlay

A Credential Layout Overlay defines presentation information required by an application to display a digital credential.
