Source code for the Observatory of anonymity, available online at https://cpg.doc.ic.ac.uk/observatory/. The Observatory of Anonymity allows users to test their degree of anonymity in 89 different countries.
This is a client-side only application developed in TypeScript. All the computation to run the models are done directly in the browser. The Observatory uses a statistical model developed in our original article ‘Estimating the success of re-identifications in incomplete datasets using generative models’, published in Nature Communications.
To get the code, and run the application locally on Linux or Mac, try the following:
# Get the code from GitLab
git clone git@github.com:computationalprivacy/observatory.git
cd observatory
# Install npm dependencies
npm install
# Run the application
npm run start:devThen browse to http://localhost:8080: you should see the client-side application.
