LBSNSTRUCTURE

A php compiled version of the common location based social network (LBSN) data structure concept (ProtoBuf) to handle cross network Social Media data in PHP. There are several motivations for prividing a common LBSN interchange data structure. Firstly, the GDPR directly requests Social Media Network operators to allow users to transfer accounts and data inbetween services. While there are attempts by Google, Facebook etc. (see data-transfer-project), it is not currently possible. With this structure concept, we follow an independent road. A primary goal is to systematically characterize LBSN data aspects in a common scheme that enables privacy-by-design for connected software, transfer scripts and database design.
