Why we need a toolbox
Dataspace participant perspective

To setup and participate in dataspaces you need solutions thatare ready to use.
There are many dataspace solutions developed; we can’t see
the forest for the trees.
Anybody can claim to adhere to the DSSC guidance. How are you
selecting a future proof option?

That is why the DSSC will provide and maintain acurated catalogue of implementations.

Toolbox is a curated catalogue ofimplementations
Covers both technical and business & organisational capabilities as
specified by the building blocks
Both software and non-software solutions
Both open source and proprietary implementations

Open for any implementation that adheres to the DSSC Blueprint.
This requires validation.

Validation scheme for BBimplementations▪ DSSC will deliver a validation and approvalframework for building block implementations.
▪ Carried out through automated self-assessments.
▪ Alignment with building block specifications in theBlueprint
Building block implementations that successfullycomplete the self-assessment will be showcased in theToolbox
