Dataspaces…
• Participants decide to trust based on manyfactors, including context and particularscenario• Connections in a dataspace are always
peer-to-peer• Multiple participants can cooperate, butdata is always exchanged 1:1• Dataspaces are an example of a multicloud federated environment• Participants can have multiple roles•

Open and dynamic dataexchange with dataspaces

E.g. data holder, data processor, datarecipients• Dataspaces can be completely
decentralized[Source: IDSA]

Why Dataspaces? Takeover messages▪

We are currently very efficient in harvesting and using data▪

There are working business cases we should not alter▪

Checklist for Dataspace participation - Data Owner> Datasets that make sense (for me) and are valuable (for others)> Clear access and usage rules
Checklist for Dataspace participation - Data User
> Clear idea on data needed> Business model for the involved actors to thrive▪

Mission, objectives and focus
The mission of the Eclipse Dataspace Working
Group is to provide a forum for individuals andorganizations to build and promote open-source
software, specifications, and open collaboration
models needed to create scalable, modular,extensible, industry-ready open-sourcecomponents based on open standards fordataspaces.

The primary objective of the Eclipse Dataspace Working
Group is to encourage, develop, and promote opensource solutions that will enable the development, as
well as the participation in dataspaces for organizationsof all types and sizes. It does not favor a specificindustry or type of organization and is fully dedicated toenable global adoption of dataspace technologies tofoster the creation and operation of trusted data
sharing ecosystems.

The working group will have a strong focus on participating in standards development, implementation andonboarding of existing open-source projects and providing guidance to associated projects on alignment with theoverarching goal of supporting a broad ecosystem of interoperable dataspaces.
