Overview

Data space is a concept of data platforms “offering both multi-organizational agreements and technical infrastructure to facilitate trusted data sharing between two or more participants:, forming a value creating ecosystem including business models”.  In Europe, there are many initiatives related to data spaces such as GAIA-X, International Data Spaces Association (IDSA), Catena-X, Manufacturing-X, FIWARE, and Eclipse.  Also in Asia, for example in Japan, DATA-EX and Ouranos Ecosystem are examples of data spaces initiatives.

In OECD, IAP (Institutional Arrangement of Partnership) is a new activity to realize DFFT (Data Free Flow with Trust).

In AODP, we would like to start a new WG “Data Space WG” in which we will study and share information and knowledge about data spaces, and discuss the role of open data in data spaces.  Also, we would like to discuss how Asia should deal with  data spaces.  We are planning to have three WG meetings in this year.  The result of discussion will be input to the AODP Summit 2024 which will be held in October 8 and 9, 2024 in Tokyo.

We hope many people will join the WG.

2nd WG (July 15) Data Spaces Case Study (1): European Cases (Finished)

Overview

The main topic of the 2nd data space WG, AODP 2024 is Data Space Initiatives in Europe. The concept of “data spaces” is proposed about 10 years ago in some academic paper. At that time, it is a distributed semi-structured databases, not the centralized relational databases. After that, it was re-proposed by European data sharing initiatives. IDSA (International Data Space Association) is one of the important leaders of data space initiatives in Europe. They are strongly pushing the concept of data spaces in the world, and trying to deploy them in industry and so on. Luxembourg is also very active for creating data spaces. They are focusing on health care data and medical data primarily. Their initiative is a part of GAIA-X, which is also one of the most important initiatives for data spaces in Europe. Today, the 2nd data spaces WG invites two speakers from IDSA and Luxembourg as a global leader of data spaces.
We, AODP members, hope to have important insight from their presentations.
