Meaning and background
The story behind Gimly
Gimly is documented in a contemporary technology context through Gimly ID. The European Next Generation Internet program describes the Netherlands-based project as developing tools for digital identity and selective sharing of data, including mobile and smart-card applications. That provides an exact-spelling project association for someone familiar with its work. The project description does not explain Gimly as a personal name or establish a spelling relationship with a fictional character or place.
