Core Concepts
To effectively utilize MeasureOne's platform, it's important to understand its key components: Individuals, Data Requests, Data Sources, Items, Connections, and Services. These foundational elements collectively power MeasureOne's ability to facilitate secure, consumer-permissioned data sharing, document processing, and integration.
By breaking down these core concepts, businesses can better leverage the platform's functionality to meet their data access and verification needs.
Individuals
The Individual is your end user/consumer whom you are requesting to share data or information with you as part of your application. In a typical implementation, the Individual is directed to MeasureOne through an invitation initiated from your application or the MeasureOne Dashboard. MeasureOne then interacts with the Individual to complete the consumer-permissioned data sharing workflow and shares the accessed Individual data with you, either directly with your application or through the MeasureOne Dashboard.
Data Requests
A Data Request serves as the foundation for initiating and managing consumer-permissioned data workflows. It consolidates the components required to securely collect data with user consent while ensuring transparency and flexibility. This document outlines the structure and configuration options available for a Data Request.
Core Components of a Data Request
| Component | Definition | Examples/Details |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | The person whose data is being requested. | Ensures user consent is obtained before data collection begins. |
| Data Request Type | Specifies the category of data being collected. | Insurance details, income details, employment details, academic data OR a custom dataset. |
| Actions | Operations performed as part of the Data Request. | Acquiring data, Writing data back to a source (e.g Update Insurance policy). |
| Reports (Optional) | Outputs generated from the collected data. | Verifications, Summaries, Status checks |
| Link Experience | UI flow individuals interact with to grant permissions. | Branding customization, Tailored user flow, Progress tracking. |
| Individual Communication | Messaging and notifications sent to the user when using MeasureOne's hosted experience. | Status updates, Data usage notifications, Permission requests. |
| Schedule/Refresh Policy | Frequency of data updates. | One-time pull, Periodic updates (daily, weekly), Real-time refreshes. |
| Runtime Attributes | Parameters for dynamically adapting the user experience during execution. | Localization, Pre-filled fields, Conditional logic, UX enhancements like widget size or responsiveness. |
By leveraging the configuration options available in a Data Request, businesses can design workflows that balance user-centricity, security, and operational efficiency.
Items
Individuals permission access to documents online for your stated business purpose. The permissioned documents that MeasureOne accesses and acquires are called Items. Items can be in any format -- HTML, PDF, XML, JSON, etc. Once the Item is acquired, it is parsed stored. To enforce the permissions on the Item data, access to the information in the Items is available solely through Service APIs. This separation of the Item data from the Service APIs limits the scope of information to just what the Individual has authorized to share, independent of the underlying Item data used to generate it. This ensures that you receive only the permissioned data and that the Individual's privacy is protected.
Services:
MeasureOne's Services enable businesses to efficiently access, process, and standardize document-based data—transforming raw information into structured insights that power informed decision-making. Whether data is acquired through Consumer-Permissioned Data (CPD), manual uploads, or business-provided documents, MeasureOne's APIs ensure seamless retrieval and processing tailored to your exact needs.

MeasureOne LINK
Individuals provided their consent to share data with you through MeasureOne LINK. MeasureOne Link is a front-end component that provides you all the capabilities necessary to initiate the consumer-permissioning workflow for your users. It enables your users to permit your application to access their data in a consumer-permissioned manner.
Link handles the consent, the data source identification, the credential collection, and the integration with the MeasureOne platform to access and acquire the consumer-permissioned data. It handles a variety of authentication mechanisms including multi-factor authentication and offers various configuration options to tailor the UI to your application.
