Description

Join the World Data System for an engaging introduction to data spaces, a rapidly evolving approach transforming how institutions share, access, and leverage sensitive and non-sensitive sovereign data across organizational and national boundaries. We will unpack the concept of data spaces and explore the DataSpace Protocol (DSP) alongside a suite of emerging ISO standards (e.g., DCP) advancing via the International Data Spaces Association. Discover a variety of data space efforts relevant to basic and applied research, and join peers in  the scientific repository community to explore how to advance data spaces in federation with other efforts.

Learn about real-world applications through concise recordings provided by four leading dataspace initiatives: the Australian Shared Environmental Analytics Facility, the OA Book Usage Data Trust, the Computer Network Information Center, and the Canadian National Data Spaces Pilot. Learn how these efforts are shaping interoperable, trusted environments for research. 

This session offers an excellent opportunity to connect with peers in the repository community, discuss strategies for federating dataspaces, and gain practical insights on developing or integrating dataspaces within your own context. A live Q&A session with the use case speakers will follow their presentations, providing direct access to experts and fostering an open dialogue about current challenges and future directions.

We invite all data repository professionals to join us in advancing collaborative, standards-based approaches to data stewardship through data spaces.
