International Data Spaces Association (IDSA)

Data sharing sounds easy. But doing it right, is not. Our team has been hard at work on bringing one of the most crucial assets for trustful data sharing the 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹 on its path to standardization ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ejxcDcZk This protocol is not just a technical innovation; it is a strategic enabler for the data-driven economy. It orchestrates the necessary steps for two or more parties to share data, including requesting a catalogue, negotiating a contract, and managing the transfer process. Our focus paper describes the choices IDSA made and why they – in our view – form the best path to standardized data space technology. It’s the essence of the last seven years of IDSA work and now ready to be pushed for standardization by the end of 2024. We believe that by embracing our Dataspace Protocol, you can enhance interoperability and efficiency in your business – and boost your data space technology. We welcome any collaboration or discussion to further these efforts together – now is the perfect time to start!

The summer break is behind us, and the months ahead are looking exciting! The #DataSharing ecosystem is buzzing with activity, and we’re jumping from event to event, spreading the word about our passion: #DataSpaces! Here’s a quick roundup of must-attend events in September where you can catch us on stage. Wishing you all a fantastic start to the second half of the year!

The future of data sharing starts here: Introducing the Dataspace Protocol ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e9Yf8bzf #DataSharing is the backbone of the digital economy—but without interoperability, its full potential remains untapped. That’s where the Dataspace Protocol (DSP) steps in. In our latest blog post, Anil Turkmayali explores how the DSP is more than just a framework. Here's what you’ll learn: ✔️ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: Understand how the DSP enables seamless data sharing across platforms and sectors. ✔️ 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗦𝗣: Discover how the separation of the control and data planes enhances scalability and efficiency in data spaces. ✔️ 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Learn about the path to making the DSP an ISO standard and its alignment with the European Union’s #DataAct.

With a select group of key technologists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers gathered in one room, the message was crystal clear: We are united in our purpose to achieve data sovereignty, and IDSA is leading the charge. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘦—𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. Organizations such as Catena-X, Gaia-X Association for Data and Cloud (AISBL), and IONOS have now pledged to adopt the Dataspace Protocol (DSP), marking a significant step forward in driving interoperability and trusted #DataSharing across Europe. As the European Union prepares to implement the Data Governance Act next year, IDSA’s groundwork with the DSP is setting the stage for a new era of #DigitalSovereignty. Our efforts are not only aligned with Europe’s vision for trusted data sharing but are also central to realizing the full potential of a robust and secure data economy. Throughout the day, the conversations were lively and constructive, with participants from multiple sectors reaffirming IDSA’s central position in shaping the data space movement. The leadings experts gathered, and their shared enthusiasm was palpable—discussions continued long after the session ended, underscoring the urgency and significance of this topic. As the protocol moves closer to becoming an international standard, we are more committed than ever to establish the foundation for interoperable and secure #DataSpaces. Yesterday’s event wasn’t just about envisioning a future of trustworthy data sharing—it was about defining the standards that will turn that vision into reality.
