| | Roger Clarke's Human Id in Info. Systems |
 | | Identification is applicable to data stored in structured, tangible and manageable form, as in corporate databases and documentary filing schemes; but also to data stored in less formal ways, as in private notes; and in incorporeal form, as in ballads and human memory. |
 | | In effect, that person has multiple identities that correspond with particular roles he, she or it plays, and it is not possible to correlate the identities without the person's active cooperation. |
 | | Given that identification schemes are costly, and generally of only moderate integrity, organisations in both the public and private sectors need to familiarise themselves with anonymous and pseudonymous transaction techniques, and assess their applicability to their operations. |
