DSSC introduces Blueprint 1.0: the evolution of data spaces

The Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) has announced the recent release of the Blueprint 1.0. The Blueprint supports parties who want to share data in setting up a data space.  In addition, newly set up data spaces can use the Blueprint to grow into a more mature data space. This version introduces enhanced speed, future-proofing, and federated capabilities, representing a remarkable advancement from its initial design principles and previous iterations.

How to set up and deploy a data space

Identifying in which life cycle stage your data space initiative’s is  in, is crucial. The co-creation method serves as a guiding framework for data spaces and their participants, facilitating the establishment, growth, and operation of these initiatives. Through this method, the DSSC provides a practical, hands-on approach, offering detailed instructions on integrating building blocks during data space construction. This method supports the progression of data space initiatives through various stages of the development cycle, accommodating initiatives at different maturity levels.

Mission and vision

The Data Spaces Support Centre want to contribute to the creation of common data spaces, that collectively create a data sovereign, interoperable and trustworthy data sharing environment, to enable data reuse within and across sectors, fully respecting EU values, and supporting the European economy and society. Funded by the European Commission as part of the Digital Europe Programme, the DSSC is aimed at the public sector and companies that want to create sovereign data spaces. Therefore, the DSSC explores the needs of data space initiatives, defines common requirements and establishes best practices to accelerate the formation of sovereign data spaces as a crucial element of digital transformation in all areas.

Data sharing
From fragmentation to scalable value from data

How can we prevent the growing landscape of data spaces and data-sharing initiatives from becoming a source of fragmentation itself? The challenge is not to make everything the same, but to make conscious decisions about what can be reused, where harmonisation is needed, and where there should remain room for domain-specific choices.

From privacy to trust: what is needed to bring PETs to the next phase

Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) make it possible to extract value from sensitive data without exposing the underlying information, but large-scale adoption remains limited despite successful pilots. According to Sarah van Drumpt (TNO) and Dave Buckley (OpenMined/UN PET Lab), the main challenge is no longer the technology itself, but creating the right conditions around governance, legal certainty and organisational readiness.

Hyperion: building data-driven collaboration for more sustainable aviation

According to Linda Bos, Director of the KLM Engineering & Maintenance Technology Hub, aviation cannot wait for new generations of electric or hydrogen-powered aircraft to become more sustainable. Through the Hyperion project, KLM and its partners are exploring how data sharing and collaboration can contribute to more sustainable and future-proof aircraft maintenance.
