The Data Privacy Vocabulary (DPV), developed by the W3C Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls Community Group (DPVCG), provides a machine-readable, interoperable vocabulary for describing the processing of personal data. It supports legislative requirements such as the EU's GDPR and has been extended to cover various applications. DPV fills a crucial niche by providing a vocabulary that can be embedded with other standards like W3C ODRL and customized for specific use cases. The DPV 2.0 version includes 2394 concepts, with 1017 added and 805 removed compared to DPV 1.0. It expands the scope to include any data or technology, enabling support for regulations like the EU's DGA and AI Act. DPV 2.0 also introduces versioned IRIs and revised extensions, including legal, location, and AI concepts. The DPVCG continues to develop and refine DPV, aiming to support a broader range of use cases and regulations. DPV is used in academic, industrial, and standard contexts, and has been referenced in standards like ISO/IEC TS 27560:2023. The DPVCG plans to further develop extensions for AI and data regulations, and to support the implementation of DPV in regulatory environments. The DPV is also looking to incorporate the Standard Data Protection Model provided by the German data protection authority. The DPVCG welcomes more participation and contributions to support its vision of providing an interoperable vocabulary that supports legal compliance processes.The Data Privacy Vocabulary (DPV), developed by the W3C Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls Community Group (DPVCG), provides a machine-readable, interoperable vocabulary for describing the processing of personal data.
