LET JRC TAKE YOU ON A DATA SPACE JOURNEY
The Joint Research Centre (JRC) has complied an accessible knowledge base of resources on Data Spaces which takes users on a practical journey to understanding, setting up, operating, maintaining and scaling European data spaces. Our report called 'European Data Spaces – Scientific insights into data sharing and utilisation at scale', can help translate policy conceptualisations and theoretical understandings of data spaces into a practical actions for implementation.
This space is a translation of the report into an online avenue which can guide users on a data spaces journey full of information gathered from outcomes and lessons learned, all arranged in a practical and useful method for easier access and support.
As the in-house European Commission science and knowledge service, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) is well positioned to support the establishment of the common European data spaces through the provision of independent scientific insights and recommendations. The JRC, and the Digital Economy Unit in particular, has a multi-year experience in supporting data-related policies led by a number of Directorate Generals (DGs) of the Commission.
AUDIENCE
Many different stakeholders and actors have a role and an interest in the establishment, sustainability and scaling of the planned common European data spaces. They may include users and providers of data, standardisation bodies, open source communities, data intermediaries, and organisations that offer data integration and value-added services. The main audience comprises of policy officers and domain experts that are currently working on, or expect to work on, the scoping and implementation of common European data spaces, particularly those which are still at an early stage in the process and require evidence and guidance for making their first steps. As the JRC’s perspective on data sharing that is presented here includes both technical and organisational aspects (i.e., non-technical), the content could also be of interest to the broader spectrum of data space stakeholders and actors.
START THE JOURNEY
As our knowledge and understanding in the domain grows, this online space can be further updated and enriched based on real-world implementation evidence and the related feedback from data space actors, especially as the development of data spaces will become more mature. Until then; let's start the data spaces journey....
