description: This report is the first deliverable (D3.1) of Work Package 3 "Trustworthy and Transparent Data Governance" of the MobiSpaces project. It includes MobiSpaces offerings in regards with: data management at the Edge, data services for accessing trustworthy and reliable data, security enforcement and privacy compliance, as well as data sharing, exchange and interoperability. 
The scope of this deliverable is to describe the basic data services that constitute the Data Governance Platform, one of the main outputs of MobiSpaces. The offered data services cover essential parts of data governance regarding all aspects of the data life cycle, the so-called "data path" in MobiSpaces terms. Starting from data acquisition, the MobiSpaces data services offer data cleaning operations, semantic modeling and representation in RDF (the de-facto standard on the WWW), in compliance with an ontology that covers the maritime and urban mobility domains, and data interlinking with external data sets (e.g., weather data). In this way, MobiSpaces offers a trustworthy and reliable process to generate curated, enriched data sets that respect the FAIR principles. Moreover, a dedicated data service tracks the provenance of data as soon as it enters the MobiSpaces Data Governance platform. Also, to support interoperability and standardized data exchange with third parties and external organizations, MobiSpaces follows and complies with reference architectures for data spaces. 
Apart from the necessary data services for trustworthy data governance, this deliverable presents data management solutions for processing data at the Edge, which is an innovative aspect of the project, as mobility data is typically generated in a decentralized way. This makes several of the offered data services applicable on edge devices, with important benefits related both to efficiency (by means of decentralized and in-situ processing) as well as to privacy preservation (by suppressing private information and avoiding its centralized assembly). Furthermore, a set of useful security tools are provided both for design time as well as for runtime. A security risk modeler helps to assess risks and propose mitigation strategies at design time, while a privacy compliance engine collects runtime information and detects vulnerabilites at runtime. 
In summary, this deliverable presents a holistic approach to data governance, tailored for the mobility domain and respecting key principles of data spaces. The data (governance) services generate reliable and trustworthy mobility data, which can be shared with external organizations in a secure and trusted manner. This added value of generating enriched mobility data sets is the first key contribution of this work. To better fit with the domain of mobility data management, the deliverable offers infrastructure support for edge processing and storage, thus making our data services applicable to diverse settings where decentralized devices collect mobility data, making our work appealing to urban and maritime use cases. This is another innovation and key contribution of our work.
