Goals for the Co-Creation Method▪ Guide you (people that are setting up data spaces) through theblueprint (and its building blocks), to make choices about the set-up of
the data space.
▪ Enable you to align the Co-Creation Method to the maturity level of
their data space.
▪ Allow you to make the required choices for an agile implementation.

Development Processes

A set of essential processes the stakeholders of a data space initiative conduct to establish andcontinuously develop a data space throughout its development cycle.

In the operational and scaling stages of the development cycle, processes such as maintenance and client engagement*The Data Spaces

The development processes are:

blocks should be used;• help explain the relationships
between the building blocks.
