Context of data spaces▪ The value of data spaces relies on thevalue of data sharing and therefore
on the value of data
▪ Data Spaces operate in digital
ecosystems and inherit some of theircharacteristics▪ Data Spaces were introduced in theEuropean Data Strategy to support
the idea of “single market of data”▪ Being concrete through use casesUsecases

Data Space concept

A distributed system defined by a governance framework that enables secure andtrustworthy data transactions between participants while supporting trust anddata sovereignty. A data space is implemented by one or more infrastructures andenables one or more use cases.
(DSSC Glossary)

What is…
▪ Distributed system▪ Governance framework▪ Enabling trusted datatransactions▪ Supporting data sovereignty▪ Several infrastructures
supporting one or more use
cases

What is not..
▪ A data lake
▪ Only a data platform▪ Only a digital ecosystem

4Why data spaces?
▪ Remove barriers in data sharing (interoperability, trust,sovereignty…)▪ Minimize the risk of data sharing (security, costs…)▪ Offer additional incentives for data sharing (reduce costs, access tomore data…)▪ Operate with different types of data (cross-domain data sharing…)▪ Involve a large variety of participants (directly or throughintermediaries)▪ Federate with other data spaces▪ Adhere to EU rules and values
5FIWARE purpose
Global, growing and open community which
promotes open standards for Data Exchange andData Models and develops open source components
for smart solutions, digital twins and data spaces.

FIWARE key assets
NGSI-LD and Context Broker

Smart Data Models (www.smartdatamodels.org)

NGSI-LD is a simple but powerful REST API for getting access to context
data in right-time

Collaborative program to provide open licensed data models (mappedinto JSON and JSON-LD) for digital twins and data spaces

Specifications published by ETSI in October 2019 under ISG CIM

According to principles of agile standardization, use cases driven

Orion-LD Context Broker is an implementation provided by FIWARE as a
CEF Building Block1200 data models, 13 domains, 7 languages, 100 organizations

Relied on open standards (schema.org, SAREF, IEC CIM, DCAT-AP,CPSV-AP, GBFS, OSLO…)

Roadmap in Data Spaces
Decentralized identity management, trust anchors and data access control acrossmulti-providers in a deployment on a mixed cloud/edge/IoT infrastructure
How AI can help in the development and operation of data spaces

Traceability of data and usage accounting across the computing continuum
Federated catalogues with services/data from cloud, edge or IoT resources publication and discovery in any of them
How to make the data spaces and data sharing a commodity transparent for theusers and providers, like Internet is for all today11Take aways▪ FIWARE helps in moving from vision to market

Making things happen!
▪ FIWARE brings key assets to leveraging on open standards andopen source frameworks

Do not reinvent the wheel!

▪ FIWARE collaborates with DSBA and others towards creation of
truly interoperable data spaces

Let’s do together!
