Data + Context(Raw) Data

Sophisticated AT SCALE services demand highly mature cloud
operation models
Containers are NOT the ultimate Answer to everything!
●

The less generic (IaaS->SaaS) a service
becomes, the less portable it gets●

Operational Excellence is the mostdetermining factor for highly productive
Cloud Services●

Highly specialized and sophisticated PaaS
or SaaS services are typically not portable
as they require optimized infrastructure &operation processes - so focusing onInteroperability

*1 BigQuery Connector (BigQuery Extension) expected to be released
Q2/24, subject to change, *2 Requirements and interoperability withexisting dataspaces implementation under review

Consumer sends Data to “peripheral” BigQuery based Data Service (mightrequired pre-processing by other Data Space Service)
Service Provider Endpoint is accessible via Google BigQuery EDC Connector
Service Provider Data are not shared but can be used to help analyze andenrich Service consumer data (Federated Analytics / Learning Approach)
Processed Data are provided to Consumer via Service Consumer Data Set
Value: EDC compatible access and usage of service, no need to share data ofservice provider -> highest level of Data Sovereignty
