Hi Jason, we discussed this very issue in our last F2F meeting in December, and used an example similar to the one you provided (of a picture). I agree that personal information is more relevant to privacy. However, I feel that it cannot be encapsulated or defined without first defining the personal data it contains or refers to (following from the definitions of data and information). To that end, the dpvcg taxonomy provides terms describing personal data categories. Additionally, the GDPR specifies "personal data" which is the focus is on "data" rather than "information". So even if someone does collect a picture as a data source for facial features (how you look), but also extracts additional information you provide examples of - such as ethnicity, they are legally required to communicate this to the data subject. The purpose of the taxonomy is to provide a way to refer to these discreet data categories - in this case, the picture and ethnicity. A second task would be to then allow defining relationships between these data categories - such as picture is the source for ethnicity, which can capture the context of information you've elaborated in your reply. IMHO, because there are an infinite combinations of linking data with each other, we should focus on providing a way to define the relationships rather than trying to reproduce a taxonomy of the universe.
