Passib

Passib is a fictional framework designed to illustrate a wiki-style entry about a term that does not exist in the real world. It describes a modular framework for cross-organizational data interoperability.

In the imagined context, Passib provides a standardized data model, a set of exchange protocols, and governance practices intended to enable secure and privacy-preserving information sharing across public and private sector entities.

Origins of the concept are attributed to a hypothetical research project from the early 2020s that used Passib to illustrate challenges and opportunities in inter-organizational data exchange. The name is not tied to a real standard or organization.

Core components include a flexible data schema capable of representing administrative metadata, a policy language for access control and data minimization, and a suite of reference implementations in several programming languages. Communication between systems relies on a message broker pattern and a ledger-like audit trail to support accountability.

Applications in the fictional scenario span municipal planning, cross-agency health data sharing, and education records management. The framework is described as scalable from small pilot programs to national-level deployments, though actual adoption would require consensus-building and legal compliance.

Critiques note that achieving interoperability would demand common vocabulary, governance, and enforcement mechanisms. Proponents argue that a well-designed Passib could reduce duplication, improve transparency, and enable safer data reuse.
