That sounds straightforward until a label is ambiguous, the vocabulary has no close match, or a graph asserts more than the scanner could know. This article records what the first implementation accomplished and what later review changed. For the wider research programme, see the <a href="../privdev-privacy-research-introduction/">PrivDev introduction</a>.</p> <h2 class="relative group">From a scanner label to a category <div id="from-a-scanner-label-to-a-category" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"> <a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#from-a-scanner-label-to-a-category" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h2> <p>Bearer CLI provides the 122 input data-type labels used in this study. The pipeline relates them to personal-data categories in the <a href="https://www.w3.org/community/reports/dpvcg/CG-FINAL-pd-20240801/" target="_blank" >Data Privacy Vocabulary&rsquo;s PD extension</a>. The output is an RDF/Turtle graph that can be queried with SPARQL. It records a proposed interpretation of each scanner label, not a description of every real processing activity in which that label might occur.</p>
