Abstract. Personal data ownership and interoperability for decentral-ized social Web applications are currently two debated topics, especially when taking into consideration the aspects of privacy and access control. To increase data ownership, users should have the freedom to choose where their data resides and who is allowed access to it by decoupling data storage from the application that consumes it. Through CIMBA, we propose a decentralized architecture based on Web standards, which puts users back in control of their own data.
