Key Concepts

Common European Data Spaces are sector-specific, interoperable data ecosystems that enable secure data sharing while maintaining data sovereignty. They combine policy frameworks, technical standards, and governance mechanisms.

Data Sovereignty

Data providers maintain control over their data and how it's used.

Federation

Distributed architecture where no central authority controls all data.

Trusted Intermediaries

Organizations that facilitate data sharing while maintaining trust and security.

Interoperability

Common standards and protocols enable seamless data exchange.
