Let’s tech talk about connectors workshop
Data space protocol. Slido questions

Let’s tech talk about connectors workshop
Round table. Moderator: Javier Valiño, ECLIPSE
Question 1.
1. Introduction of the Interoperability and importance of data space protocol
standardization.
▪ Based on the experience from those who have implemented the Data Space Protocol.
What were the most significant challenges you encountered while implementing theData Space Protocol in your project? How did you overcome these challenges? Are there
any solutions or workarounds you discovered that might benefit others? Whatadvantages have you observed since implementing the Data Space Protocol? How has it
impacted to interoperability?
▪ What are the main advantages or motivations for organizations that are in the earlystage or considering implementing the Dataspace Protocol?

Let’s tech talk about connectors workshop
Round table. Moderator: Javier Valiño, ECLIPSE
Question 2.
2. Interoperability should be defined also at trust level, when selecting technology or a connector
for a project, what criteria does the technical architecture use to ensure trust compatibility
with de facto current standards? How do you navigate the decision-making process?

▪ The data space protocol doesn't explicitly specify how to manage trust between different
connectors. Can you share how your organization has approached this challenge? With thegrowing interest in SSI as a means to manage identities and credentials, how has yourorganization incorporated SSI governance models?
▪ How does your implementation of the Data Space Protocol handle the validation andauthentication of entities participating in a data space? What measures have you put in place
to manage credentials effectively, particularly concerning compliance with frameworks like
IDSA & Gaia X?

Round table. Moderator: Javier Valiño, ECLIPSE
Question 3.
3. This final question is pivotal for understanding the broader context within which theData Space Protocol operates, recognizing that technical interoperability is just one pieceof the puzzle.

▪ What additional elements are crucial to ensure the comprehensive effectiveness of data
spaces? How do you integrate these elements with the Data Space Protocol to create acohesive ecosystem?
