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!

Yesterday at the Big Data Expo 2024 in Guiyang, China, the focus was on "Trusted Data Sharing and Data Spaces." Thorsten Huelsmann represented IDSA in person, highlighting our work on #DataSpaces, the #DataSpaceProtocol, and international standardization. Key discussions included coordination with the Chinese National Data Administration (NDA) and its leader, Liu Liehong. The afternoon featured the "International Exchange on Data Spaces" event, co-hosted by IDSA and NDA, and co-organized from Huawei, CFIEC, CAICT, and Fraunhofer ISST. Presentations included: – Sven Löffler from T-Systems International with concrete commercial implementations at T-Systems and involvement in various domain-specific data space initiatives such as Catena-X, – Julia Pampus from Fraunhofer ISST on #OpenSourceSoftware and the Eclipse Foundation Data Spaces Component project EDC, – Noboru Koshizuka, Universität Tokio on the data space initiatives in Japan, – Liu Dong, Future Internet Engineering Center CFIEC on the network of data space organisations, – Yu Xiaohui, CAICT on the recent Chinese innovation practises on dataspaces, – Gregory Healy, SAP on the Catena-X initiative for the automotive industry, – Tao Jingwen, Huawei on the activities of Huawei in China related to data spaces.

Sharing data is not a new thing, but the requirements for it are evolving. We need data connectors to share data - because connectors enable secure and effective communication and exchange in data spaces. Swipe through the slider to explore their crucial role!

Congratulations to Ute Burkhardt on her appointment to the board of the iSHARE Foundation! We’re excited to see Ute take on this important role with our valued partner. iSHARE is a trust framework. It's about having the legal and technical assurance that if you share your data with others, you can trust them. This complements the broader setting IDSA is providing through the IDS Reference Architecture Model and the Dataspace Protocol, enabling organizations to share data and access services in a trustworthy, scalable, and interoperable way. We look forward to continued collaboration between IDSA and iSHARE. Together, we’re shaping the future of trustworthy #DataSharing. Here’s to Ute and our ongoing partnership!

The Dataspace Protocol is at the very core of the technical implementation of every data space component and guarantees interoperability between components and data space participants. Positioned at the center of the IDSA assets landscape, the Dataspace Protocol translates the principles of the IDS Reference Architecture Model (IDS-RAM) into actionable technical specifications. It also aligns with the IDSA Rulebook, implementing the necessary compliance and trust measures at a technical level. As part of IDSA’s broader mission, the Dataspace Protocol on track to becoming an international ISO standard, with further development and integration supported by the Eclipse Data Space Working Group.
