PURPOSE
Evaluate the outcomes/impact of data spaces in the European Union over time and identify improvement areas
to help data spaces learn from each other and continuously enhance their performance.

Methodology for impact evaluation
The aim of this methodology is to evaluate the socio-economic outcomes of EU-funded data spaces. The maturity level of a data
space does not correlate with impact for the EU. It is a dimension considered in the impact assessment as contextual information.

Data space maturity modelSet of indicators and a self-assessment tool allowing data space initiatives to understand their stage in the development
cycle, their performance indicators and their technical, functional, operational, business and legal capabilities in absoluteterms and in relation to peers (DSSC Glossary).

The development stage in which a data
space initiative starts. Typically in thisstage, a group of people starts to explore
the interest, potential and viability ofa data space. The exploratory activities
may include, among others: identifying
and attracting interested stakeholders,collecting requirements, discussing use
cases or reviewing existing conventions
or standards.

The development stage that starts whena data space initiative has a critical massof committed partners, and there is anagreement to move forward with theinitiative and proceed towards creating
a data space. It is typical for this stage
that such partners jointly develop use
cases and prepare to implement the dataspace.

The development stage that starts whena data space initiative has a sufficiently
detailed project plan, milestones andresources (funding and other) for
developing its governanceframework and infrastructure in thecontext of a data space pilot. It is typicalfor this stage that the parties involved inthe pilot and the value created for eachare also clearly identified.

The development stage that starts whena data space initiative has a tested
implementationof infrastructure(s) and governanceframework, and the first use
case becomes operational (data flowing
between data providers and data
recipients and use case providing theintended value). Typically, in this stage,changes occur, both in the governanceframework and the technicalimplementation of the data space.

The development stage that starts whena data space initiative has proven to
consistently and organically gain
new participants and embrace new use
cases. In this stage, the data space canrealistically be expected to be financiallyand operationally sustainable andrespond to market changes, and growover time.

Maturity assessment methodology
The goal of the maturity model is to facilitates self-assessment of the level of maturity to data space initiatives. The
methodology consists of five main dimensions, several sets of indicators, and survey questions.
