Something beautiful is happening with all the early adopters of Roam and Roam-esque spin-offs.
So many are now build their own takes on PKM / CKM tooling, or joining teams doing the same. Strong early vibes created so much momentum and community education around TFT. Good model.

Why are Personal Knowledge Graph tools focusing on note taking and not actual personal data?

Most of the ones I’m seeing folks join or build have structured data and ontologies baked in as first class citizens. You’ll like the new cohort 😉

Do you have some links?

plexusnotes.com – unclear how flexible type system is (pre-release)
reflect.app – limited, pre-defined type system (person, book, etc.)
Two others I know of are in private alpha / pre-release
Haven't tested these, not endorsements

Thanks. Are they getting close to the 'personal data locker' vision? :)

The term used in the book is "personal data locker". Quite ahead of its time.

Unclear, but I'd wager no. Interop and integrations are still a fundamental issue at the OS-level. is probably closer to what you want.
The PDL vision video is a nice idea but unrealistic – specifically medical data access. Terrible risks and repercussions
If we nix the medical data example, and any other potentially destructive data access (eg. financial accounts), the rest of it isn't too much of a pipe dream.
Current apps feel like they're taking baby steps towards it, but they're still mostly walled gardens

I agree there are risks, but is access to medical or financial data so far fetched?
FAANG already has our medical data, including appointments.
Open banking, at least in the EU, enables API access to bank data.
