IoT data are collected from heterogeneous resources with different granularity, and various quality and data providers have different ways of published their data. The collected data are stored in a central repository or a distributed cloud [16]. The data can have different data attributes (e.g., numeric, categorical) and are stored in various formats (e.g., CSV, XML, JSON). The data can be enriched by meta-data to enable interoperability with other data resources [8]. The data are often accessed through Web service/application programming interface (API). The data should be represented and interpretable in a machine-understandable and human-readable format.

Our study also raises awareness about the tension between human-readable and machine-readable data format. While machine-readable data format offers more possibilities for further processing, in terms of user experience the human-readable format was preferred. For instance, the SUS score was highest when data was provided in PDF (score = 66) or HTML format (score = 54). The data formats received make it likely that many organisations will respond to the SAR as well as a request in the form of the right to portability. While not illegal per se, from a UX perspective, the design for different use cases cannot avoid making compromises. We call, however, for providing the data in the machine-readable json-format together with an additional HTML-viewer to allow for human exploration (see touchpoint data use). In addition, when zip files with a complex structure are provided, the SARs should provide guidance and explanation of the directory and clear labelling of the files to ensure comprehensibility.
