Public consultation on new standard for interoperability requirements Data Act

NEN has launched the public consultation for Trusted Data Transaction (TDT) Part 3: a
standard for interoperability requirements. This means that Dutch stakeholders can review
the draft and submit comments via NEN Connect until July 20th. This is your opportunity to
assess the proposal and provide feedback.

What does it cover?
The standard forms part of a series of standards supporting compliance with the EU Data
Act. It includes key requirements for interoperable data sharing within data spaces, such as
mandatory descriptions of data products, access and usage conditions, data models, and
APIs. The aim is to facilitate reliable data transactions between participants in data spaces.

Who is it for?
TDT Part 3 is relevant for data providers, data users, and service providers within data
spaces.

Looking Back at a succesfull Gaia-X Tech-X & Hackathon 2026 in Athens

At the Gaia-X Tech-X & Hackathon #9 in Athens, CoE-DSC and TNO played a prominent role in advancing trusted data sharing and interoperability within the European digital ecosystem. A major highlight was the CoE-DSC/TNO team winning the first prize at the hackathon, achieved with an AI-powered solution that enhances trusted collaboration between digital services. The event also showcased important progress in trust and compliance frameworks that support the future development of interoperable European data spaces.
