41. • Services are important part of our economy and definitely one of the
major components of emerging decentralized data economy.
• Major components:
• personal (service) directory
• public (service) directory
• service interfaces
• user preferences
• Main target is user-centric services which respects user’s privacy and their
preferences and build the services around user context and purpose.
• Eliminates need for consenting to each services independently and protects
user’s privacy and gives chance to control own data.
Approach
42. • Reasoning for the out scoping was to narrow down the focus on the building blocks of the
decentralized data econony
• These items are relevant for future of the ecosystem and implementation phase but out
scoped from this document:
• The rules and conditions of operating public directory
• Architecture and implementation of TDA as a user friendly interface towards decentralized data
economy
• Algorithms within TDA for consent which can be automatically applied based on the user preferences
to specific service
• The way consent are given, contracts are made, definitions, legal concepts, or other factors that
affect the explicit understanding of the user and their interaction with a service
• Non human interaction with services, e.g. company vs service
• Possible monetary value of data
Out scoped items
43. • High level guidelines and next steps discussed and agreed together in the
weekly calls
• Experts working on their own between the calls and notifying others when
the specification is ready for review
• So far it has been rather easy to find the consensus
• Some minor conflicts between technical and business people

Weekly call
44. • Conclusions so far:
• Public (service) directories – Should be decentralized and in the beginning
there should be at least one which is operated by a trustworthy party. This helps
to gain users’ trust and build the ecosystem faster.
• Layered services – Services may integrate with existing services and utilize
information available in building a new service (minimum set of information)
• Publishing – Publishing public (service) directories, services and data, needs to
be standardized, with a minimum required set. This has been done on a high
level.
• Next steps:
• More detailed specification
• Alignment with other streams utilized in the Services stream:
• Identity, Consent, Data Transfer & Logs
Results
Conclusions & way forward
48. Why collaboration with SDO?
Some IHAN project goals in early 2018
1. IHAN services introduced in three European countries
2. First services implemented and they have common model of functioning
IHAN as a project had an European wide scope from the beginning and a heavy emphasis
on technology, service implementation and technical specifications. How to do European
cooperation on this kind activities? How to scope the work?
Alternatives:
- ISO
- IEEE
- ETSI
- CEN
49. CEN
- The European Committee for Standardization, is an association that brings together the
National Standardization Bodies of 34 European countries.
- More than 50.000 technical experts involved
- One of three European Standardization Organizations (together with CENELEC and
ETSI) that have been officially recognized by the European Union and by the European
Free Trade Association (EFTA) as being responsible for developing and defining
voluntary standards at European level.
- Supports standardization activities in relation to a wide range of fields and sectors
including: air and space, chemicals, construction, consumer products, defence and
security, energy, the environment, food and feed, health and safety, healthcare, ICT,
machinery, materials, pressure equipment, services, smart living, transport and
packaging
51. CWA = CEN Workshop Agreement
- CWA is pre-standardization document
- In 2019 CEN had total of 484 CWAs
- A Workshop is the technical body that develops and approves a CWA, the CEN
Workshop Agreement
- CWA reflects consensus of identified stakeholders - the Workshop participants who
drafted and approved CWA are indicated in the Foreword
- Workshops are self-funded
- Participation in the Workshop is open to anyone willing to join and accepting the project
plan
- Some latest workshops:
– “Reference model for distribution application for microgrids”
– “Real drive test method for collecting vehicle in-cabin pollutant data”
52. How did the work go?
- Meeting with CEN on February 2018
- Agreement with SFS (a CEN member) on June 2018
- Approval from CEN August 2018
- Project plan published at CEN website
- Kick-off meeting 01/2019
- Three theme specific kick-off meetings:
– Identity 02/2019
– Consent 03/2019
– Logging 04/2019
- Planning 02-07/2019
- Specification writing, commenting, bi-weekly teleconfs 08-12/2019
- Spell check and fine tuning 01/2020, 39 pages
- Sent for approval 01/2020
53. What next for our CWA?
- 3 years available for free after publishing, can be prolonged for another 3 years
- Who can benefit from our work?
– Anyone creating Internet services which need identity, consent or logging
– European projects; CWA can be utilized in research and development by research institutions,
universities and private enterprises. Especially EU funded (Horizon) project benefit from SDO
reference documents.
– It is also our goal that this CWA will be further developed by CEN as a Technical Report (TR),
Technical Specification (TS) or as a European Standard (EN)
- In Sitra’s IHAN project
– Requirement specification work continues in other areas
