Summary – the Japanese view
◆ Data sharing pilots active both for industry-led and public-led mechanisms◆ DATA-EX platform for Japan developed in SIP-2 (national R&D project)◆ More work needed toward global harmonization of data spaces◼ Technical interoperability (incl. trust mechanism)◼ Regulatory/legal interoperability◼ Alignment of domain-dependent business rules/standards◆ Mandates, enablers and initiatives for data spaces in Europe are well in sight◆ Best practices shared worldwide will drive expansion of data space ecosystems
