    This deliverable describes the final model of the European data economy. It is based on improving the revised model and considers legal, socio-economic and technological aspects, and goes beyond the initial and the revised model in terms of breadth and depth. While the final model is the result of the third phase of EuDEco’s three-phase model development process, the initial heuristic model was the result of the first phase and the revised model the result of the second one. The data economy is considered a complex adaptive system. In the final model, all EuDEco model elements including agents, artefacts, strategies and environmental factors are addressed. The deliverable lists and introduces in detail propositions for each research perspective, which outline particularly important relationships between model elements. The propositions are either refinements of propositions from the refined model or new propositions. The legal propositions focus on the effect of legal circumstances on the data economy. A differentiation between different types of legal propositions was not considered necessary. The deliverable features two types of socio-economic propositions: strategy-centric ones that focus on the behaviour of agents in the data economy and environment-centric ones that focus on environmental factors that affect the data economy. Technological propositions are also either strategy or environment centric. Again, strategy-centric propositions focus on the behaviour of agents in the data economy. Environment centric propositions focus on the effect of environmental factors on agents. Making the relationships explicit provides an essential foundation for giving sound recommendations for policy makers regarding future legislation and funding programmes, and for business leaders regarding innovative use cases and attractive business models. The deliverable makes several preliminary recommendations that are substantiated by the model and are based on an initial set of recommendations outlined in D3.1.

    This deliverable describes potential barriers for the development of self-sustaining data markets in Europe. In this sense, self-sustaining means that those data markets are supposed to sustain without the need for a central external driver or the need for manual intervention on a long-term base once they are fully established. Once a data market is self-sustaining, it can be seen as a stable market, which involves most or all actors which have been identified by the EuDEco project consortium and which are listed in the model, including all roles of its agents: data holders, data users, data distributors and solution providers.This establishment may, however, be hindered by different barriers - whether those are legal, socio economic or technological. This deliverables identifies those barriers. They have been identified by the EuDEco consortium within its communication with the stakeholders and are mainly stemming from two sources. Firstly, the feedback and discussions of the workshops that the consortium has organized in its first two and a half project years have been taken into account as a major source. This includes written feedback, discussions and comments. Secondly, feedback from the in-depth interviews with stakeholders has been considered especially from the recommender interviews. Section 3 of this document identifies a series of technological barriers that could hinder the establishment and uptake of self-sustaining data markets. Based on this, section 4 provides an overview of requirements that are necessary to remove the barriers identified in section 3. For each of those requirements a set of concrete approaches is given on how to realize them. Those approaches are meant as direct and actionable suggestions. The results of this deliverable and especially the approaches and requirements of section 4 will later serve as a basis for recommendations in work package 5.

    D2.1 represents the beginning of the second phase of the project, as it focuses on providing a first approach to the initial heuristic model as well as on laying the groundwork for the future stages, which will aim towards the attuning and refining of the model. As an initial model, D2.1 presents an analysis of the framework that surrounds the data economy and data reuse in Europe, providing a very comprehensive, though not exhaustive, list of the key terms: artefacts, strategies, agents and other factors. The main goal behind this is to understand an ever growing area of economy that is constantly evolving due to the technical, societal and legal implications that interact in the data economy. In order to reflect the situation of data reuse around Europe in this initial model, EuDEco makes 30 propositions, which intend to address the most important aspects of the three key complex adaptive system elements surrounding the data economy. These propositions were shared with a group of experts during the first EuDEco Forum for Data Reuse and a Networking Session at the ICT 2015, both held in Lisbon. Feedback from these events has been included in this document.
