Right - you've nailed it, a legal document like a data processing agreement may be enforceable in court but system implementation can vary widely, often without malice but it still fails.

So the question to answer is how can we ensure an interoperable contract for data between systems/services - that requires an ontology for privacy that makes enforcement easy(er).

It is possible to make privacy definitions a declarative and low effort part of development for engineers - then code becomes the enforcing layer instead of legal agreements.
