Several years back we worked with MaaS Scotland (the umbrella organisation for Mobility-as-a-Service [MaaS] activities in Scotland) on the creation of The Data Spectrum for Transport & Mobility.
This diagram was a small (but significant) step forward in the data maturity of the sector. In that it adopted the original work of The Open Data Institute and aligned transport & mobility to data terminology already used by other sectors such as banking, energy, and smart cities.

More recently, and with the more common use of the term Smart Data to the secure sharing of customer data with Authorised Third Parties [ATPs], we have been asked where this sort of data (e.g. transactions, journey history and discounts & concessions) sits within the Data Spectrum.
Luckily, its position is easy to spot… as it is a particular sort of data that is shared securely with authorised (named) parties with the customer’s permission (a data sharing contract). And consequently can be thought of as ‘Named Access’ data that sits in the area outlined below.
