New concepts for cross company data sharing: Eclipse Dataspace Components Framework - OCX 2024
People have heard about Dataspaces, but still have been left with some questions. The session will address these questions by demonstrating how concepts have been evolved and matured over the time. Dataspaces are enabling data economy and building trust in cross-organizational data sharing. But, they require technical solutions for attaching policies to data assets and implementation of suitable protocols for advertising data, negotiate policies and control the transfer. The Eclipse Dataspace Components provides a framework for building Dataspace components compliant to specification jointly developed by a community of initiatives like IDSA, Gaia-X, iShare and others within the Eclipse Foundation and its corresponding Dataspace Working Group (EDWG). This sessions highlights the fundamental idea and functionalities, provides an overview about the progress we saw in Dataspace's concepts over the last 3 years and shows how the EDC supported this endeavor with the EF community. The sessions concludes with a wrap-up and outlook for the upcoming development phases, esp. with a glimpse on the new specification projects of the Dataspace Protocol (DSP) as well as the Decentralized Claims Protocol (DCP) of the EDWG.. This session's attendees will gain a better understanding of the multiple discussions about building dataspaces, how the Eclipse Dataspace Components make their life easier building production-ready components and how they will be prepared for upcoming specifications.
