Challenges and Opportunities for Enabling the Next Generation of Cross-Domain Dataspaces

Dataspaces are regarded as a standardized solution for sharing data in a trusted way. However, providing and sharing high-quality data across dataspaces poses several scientific and technical challenges, opening new research avenues. Developing governance models and technologies for supporting cross-domain integration of data and services from the existing single-domain dataspaces represents a significant challenge. In this vision paper, we discuss the challenges for enabling next-generation dataspaces and propose an innovative approach that aims at developing a vision and identifying requirements and building blocks for next-generation dataspaces, followed by defining a roadmap and practical migration paths for the existing dataspaces towards the next-generation dataspaces.
