Use Cases

The Centre of Excellence for Data Sharing & Cloud (CoE-DSC) works on several (cross-sectoral) use cases of data sharing. In these use cases, organisations (from different domains) collaboratively define and realise a use case that creates new value by sharing data. Besides new value creation, the use cases provide the CoE-DSC with real-life insights in what is required to achieve interoperability between different organisations, domains and/or data sharing initiatives. Based on our experience with developing different use cases, the CoE-DSC can help you tackle the common problems in use case development and to realise your data sharing use case.

The Amsterdam Commons, Post Platforms Foundation, Schluss, and the CoE-DSC are collaboratively exploring personal data spaces to establish data sovereignty for commons. Commons refer to a collective of people who share and manage resources according to mutually agreed-upon rules, characterized by self-organization, local participation, non-hierarchical structures, and inclusivity. Examples in Amsterdam include shared housing, community-managed parks, and energy and mobility collectives.
