The document outlines a workshop on the European Strategy for Data, focusing on building a fair digital society and successful European data markets. Key topics include the distinction between the data market and data economy, design principles for data spaces that emphasize data sovereignty and decentralization, and the necessity of public-private governance for equitable data sharing. It highlights critical measures and instruments for implementing the strategy, alongside the challenges faced and the importance of interoperability in data ecosystems.

3. Data Market vs Data Economy
• The Data Market is the marketplace where digital data is
exchanged as “products” or “services” as a result of the
elaboration of raw data. Its value is based on the
aggregate value of the demand of digital data without
measuring the direct, indirect and induced impacts of
data in the economy.
• The Data Economy measures the overall impacts of the
Data Market on the economy.

dimension -
measurement of data
supplier and data user
companies and the
revenues generated.
 The Business and
Economy dimension -
the size of the Data
Market and the value of
the Data Economy.
 The Workforce and Skills
dimension - data
professionals and their
potential skill gap.

9. Enabling different types of data markets
• Direct trading (via API of data holder) or with the involvement of intermediary
• Individual "micro data" (data marketplace) or information products (data broker)
• Involving individual ("personal data market"/ PIMS) or industrial/IoT data
• Data stay in a an "industrial data space" or in an open environment
• The concept of Common EU Data Spaces in DEP as sectoral data markets
• Rules for ‘European style’ intermediaries in the Data Governance Act
• Access to the data generated in the use of the gatekeeper platform – Digital Markets Act
• Supply of data - HVDs (open data), and via sectoral legislation (electricity, mobility)

10. What are the remaining issues in data
markets?
Legal:
• Uncertainty on the right to use
the data
• Lack of control over the data
• Lack of standard licencing
solutions
Technical:
• Lack of standards
• Insufficient quality of the data
• Lack of interoperability between
sectors
• Data difficult to find
Structural:
• Imbalance in negotiating power
• Small players not having critical
mass of data and not sharing it

17. Design principle #1 for data spaces
Data sovereignty
The capability of a natural person or organisation
for exclusive self-determination with regard to its
economic data goods. This is the innovative and
transformative concept underlying data spaces.

18. Design principle #2 for data spaces
Data level playing field
New entrants face no insurmountable barriers to
entry because of monopolistic situations. When a data
level playing exists, players compete on quality of
service, and not on the amount of data they control. A
data level playing field is a pivotal condition to create
a fair data sharing economy.

for data spaces”.

19. Design principle #3 for data spaces
Decentralised soft infrastructure
The data sharing infrastructure is not a monolithic
centralised IT infrastructure. It is a collection of
interoperable implementations of data spaces which
comply to a unified set of agreements in all dimensions:
functional, technical, operational, legal and economic.
Out of the principle of data sovereignty follows
functional and non-functional requirements of
interoperability, portability, findability, security, privacy
and trustworthiness.

20. Design principle #4 for data spaces
Public-private governance
For the design, creation and maintenance of the
data level playing field a sound governance is
essential. All stakeholders need to feel represented
and engaged. These include users (persons,
organisations) or provider of data services as well as
their technology partners and professionals.

27. Fair data economy rules needed for data spaces
• Combination of business, legal, technical and societal viewpoints is required in
defining fair data rules.
Common design principles for data spaces can be applied
• Apply common building blocks, while leaving room for domain specific solutions.
Common soft infrastructure makes cross-sectorial data sharing easier.
Embryonic data spaces are seeds for common European data
spaces
• National and regional initiatives are important intermediary milestones when
moving towards the vision of common European data spaces, as long as they
adhere to the data space principles and infrastructure reference models, such
as IDS and GAIA-X.

33. DATA SPACES
A CONCEPT FOR CONNECTING
ALL KINDS OF DATA ENDPOINTS
When broadening the perspective from an individual
use case scenario to a platform landscape view, the
INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES positions itself as an
architecture to link different cloud platforms through
secure exchange and trusted sharing of data, short:
through data sovereignty.
By proposing a specific software component, the INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES Connector, industrial data clouds can be
connected, as well as individual enterprise clouds and on premise applications and individual connected devices.
THIS IS A
DATA SPACE –
JUST ONE SPECIES
OUT OF
THOUSANDS

35. Design Principles
For data spaces to be built on
1. Data sovereignty
2. A level playing field for data sharing and exchange
3. A distributed soft infrastructure
4. Public-private governance

36. Decentralised soft infrastructure
The cornerstone for data ecosystems
▪ The infrastructure for European data spaces will not be a
monolithic, centralised IT infrastructure.
▪ Instead, it will be made of the totality of interoperable
implementations of data spaces complying with a set of
agreements in terms of functional, technical, operational
and legal aspects.
▪ Such a ‘soft infrastructure’ will be invisible to data space
participants.
▪ It will entail functional and non-functional requirements
regarding interoperability, portability, findability, security,
privacy, and trustworthiness.

37. Implementing Europe‘s Data Strategy
How to make DGA happen
The Commission has not been explicit yet on
how the general authorisation framework is to
be created and how the totality of data-sharing
applications will have to converge into the de-
facto ‘soft infrastructure’.
The big question now is: How do we get to this
general European authorisation framework
that will determine how data sharing and
exchange in Europe takes place in
practice?

38. Governance for data spaces
Proposal for making DGA happen
Shouldn‘t we have a
Data Exchange Board
to support the DIB?

39. Key steps to achieve data sovereignty
Actions to take in the coming digital decade
1. Digital ‘soft’ infrastructure for data sharing: Develop functional, legal, technical
and operational requirements that support the most pressing use cases of people,
businesses and governments in the various data spaces.
2. Based on existing best practices: Much of the groundwork on digital soft
infrastructure for data sharing has already been done in the past decade by
researchers and business practitioners around the world. The initial version of the
requirements for data sharing services should include these best practices.
3. Living form of standardisation: The digital soft infrastructures are a living form of
standardisation and should be allowed to evolve over time; the common way of
dealing with data must continuously respond to market needs and applications.
4. Operational governance: To include the best practices from the practitioners and
enable the continuous evolution of the standardisation, a sound governance model
should be set up which represents public-sector, private-sector and people’s
interests.
5. Initial implementation: The organisations that have created the requirements
should roll out and implement the first version of the digital soft infrastructure. This
will provide referenceable integrations and, importantly, validate market adoption,
6. Roll-out and adoption: The digital soft infrastructure should then be extended
across all sectors over the coming decade.
