Data spaces for data ecosystems

The keynote talk motivates the sharing of data within ecosystems as a prerequisite for data-driven innovation and proposes data spaces as an appropriate data infrastructure pattern in this regard. It puts the current activities concerned with building and scaling data spaces in the context of the European strategy for data which calls for the establishment of common European data spaces. Furthermore, the talk introduces conceptual and technical foundations of data spaces and points to recent developments in practice, such as Gaia-X and the IDS Association.
