The industries of tomorrow: IDS communities
International data spaces work across all industries and domains of activity. To that end, technologies, methods, organizational concepts and governance structures must be designed generically, to work with all. At the same time, IDS concepts must be adaptable to important cross-sector domains of activity that have specific requirements. That’s where IDS Communities come in.
IDS Communities are aligning tomorrow’s data solutions with common business needs
There are currently four IDS Communities, consisting of relevant stakeholders from industry, research and government, that are developing blueprints for data sovereignty in the areas of mobility, industry, logistics and medicine.
Industrial Community
IDSA’s broad goal is data sovereignty across a secure, vendor-independent network. But we know that industrial business ecosystems also have their own special requirements — standards, capabilities, governance and more — that will drive the future of global production and smart manufacturing. The IDS-I Community exists to tailor IDS principles and technologies to these unique demands.

The Industrial Community is an international coalition of industry partners that unites more than 60 organizations from around the world. The. objective: Mapping IDS concepts and principles of data sovereignty to the requirements of the industrial sector.
The IDS-I Community will strengthen the link between IDSA and the Platform Industrie 4.0 as well as the Industrial Internet Consortium and formal liaison partners in the industrial sector, such as the Robot Revolution Initiative, the Industrial Value Chain Initiative, the Data Trading Alliance and the OPC-Foundation.

Mobility Community
IDSA’s mobility community aims to drive Europe’s automotive sector into the future. This sector is a crucible of innovation that’s mission-critical economically and politically for Europe, in the global marketplace. A successful mobile future is also key to maintaining and growing the nearly 14 million jobs the industry currently provides in Europe.
Promote IDS for better mobility
Success requires mobility to be better for its users. Customer-centricity is no secret to business success. Therefore, the key is to be better. And since IDS became an official DIN standard in 2020, now is the time.

Telecommunication Community
The IDSA telco community was formed to establish international standards for trusted network services. The goal is to ensure fair, secure, and interoperable data sharing worldwide.
The community’s vision is for telecom carriers to offer global data space connectivity services similarly to how they currently provide internet or mobile phone connectivity. This will enable companies to access data spaces as easily and securely as making a phone call, using the existing infrastructure of national telecom carriers.
Key questions and challenges ahead
The community identified several important questions to address:
- Role of national telecom carriers: What responsibilities should national telecom carriers have in data sharing ecosystems? This includes aspects like user management, authentication, trust services, and data governance.
- Requirements for compliant network services: What specific requirements must telecom carriers meet to provide network services that are interoperable and compliant with the Dataspace Protocol?
- Interconnecting services internationally: How should these services be interconnected across borders?
- Mutual recognition of trust anchors: What system and rules are ideal for the international mutual recognition of trust anchors in each country?
- Demonstrations and collaborations: What tests and collaborations are necessary to establish a global trust network compliant with data space protocols?
By addressing these core questions, the community aims to remove barriers and enhance the accessibility of data spaces while promoting international collaboration and standardization.

Medical Community
Data is rapidlly becoming the new horizon of health care, enabling powerful tools and methods for P4 medicine (preventive, predictive, participatory, personalized). Medical data is often connected to individuals’ health records, requiring scrupulous attention toprivacy and security concerns. Data sovereignty becomes paramount.
The IDSA Medical Community’s top priorities:
Co-creation: Joint identification of real-world problems in the health care and life sciences industries
Implementation: Realization of use cases on top of industry solutions
Data sovereignty: Development of guidelines and concepts ensuring the sovereignty of the individual (patient or health care consumer) as “data owner”
Data economics: Definition of business models for businesses driven by health care data, with special attention attention to data ethics and legal affairs
