In some embodiments, the term “user data object” refers to a data entity that represents a user that interacts with a member platform and/or the exchange platform. A user, for example, may include an entity (e.g., person, organization, group, etc.) that engages in an exchange of value governed by the exchange platform. In some examples, the user may indirectly cooperate with the exchange platform by creating a user account with a registered service provider, registering (and/or giving permission to register) a service provider instrument, and/or the like. In some examples, the exchange platform may act on the user's behalf without the user directly engaging with the exchange platform. For example, the exchange platform may act as a hidden intermediary between a user-facing application and a user's service provider instrument.
In some embodiments, a user data object includes one or more user identifiers and/or one or more user attributes. In some examples, the one or more user identifiers and/or one or more user attributes may be based at least in part on a type of user data object. By way of example, a user may be represented in a member platform as a member user data object. In addition, or alternatively, the user may be independently represented by a system user data object in an exchange platform. In some examples, the member user data object and the system user data object may include one or more of the same one or more user identifiers and/or user attributes. By way of example, a member platform may register a plurality of users with an exchange platform. During registration, the member platform may provide one or more of the user identifiers and/or user attributes and, in some examples, the exchange platform may return another identifier.
