Maritime Data Space

Sintef | Navtor | Neuron | Wilhelmsen | DNV-GL

CHALLENGE:

Maritime shipping companies are required by law to transmit a set of important data before entering every port. There are various industry solutions for this data exchange such as the Veracity ecosystem in the market today. All of them are very complex and time intensive to manage.

Providers and organizations on shore do not have access to ship data like emissions, fuel consumption and route details. Data access agreements between data providers such as ship owners, authorities or shipyard equippers as well as service providers that take care of for example data analysis and process improvements must be negotiated individually. A common ecosystem for data exchange from ship to shore , that simplifies the process and does not exist.

SUCCESS:

The IDS-based Maritime Data Space brings together all participants and platforms in one trusted and secure data ecosystem. It ensures transparent access to ship-related data, enables secure, stable and efficient communication between ship and shore, and provides value-added and trusted services for ship operations.

Autonomous shipping, environmental sustainability, industry 4.0 technologies, and the connection between ships are current trends that the Maritime Data Space addresses in an innovative way.

Smart Connected Supplier Network - Market 4.0

TNO

CHALLENGE:

Smart Connected Supplier Network is an initiative of manufacturing companies and their IT-suppliers in the high-tech manufacturing supply chain. The aim is to facilitate cross-factory communication and thus ensuring supply chain transparency and interoperability, resulting in an overall productivity improvement of 20%. This is realized by reducing the administrative burden and facilitating collaboration between supply chain partners. Unlike traditional centralized platform initiatives, SCSN is fully based on the principles of digital and data sovereignty. There is no central entity controlling the data. A non-profit foundation chairs the data sharing agreements, but the implementation is done by the involved IT-suppliers. Unlike existing EDI-initiatives, these agreements not only address the semantics, but also the technical and legal aspects between partners in the ecosystem.

SUCCESS:

SCSN is designed as a highly scalable solution by providing a network approach (four-corner model) which consists of the following two aspects:

One common semantic language to exchange: orders, forecast, TPDs, BoM, drawings, invoices, logistical information, catalogues, and measurement data.
Seamless technical agreements between Service Providers to ensure the promise of Connecting Once - Communicate with everyone. The underlying SCSN infrastructure is based on the reference architecture developed by the International Data Spaces Association. The SCSN Foundation created standard IDS Connectors and Data Apps, which can be used by service providers. These service providers, i.e. integrator parties, created off-the-shelve integrations with a complete portfolio of ERP systems. This way, they can very easily connect manufacturing companies to the network.

BENEFITS:

Seamless scalable integrations for manufacturing companies for exchanging purchase-to-pay information
Reduction in administrative burden, faster time-to-market, lower IT integration costs
IT service providers only need a single integration

DASLOGIS - Dutch Data Spaces for Logistics

CHALLENGE:

To adapt to changing market dynamics, organizations are collaborating more than ever in increasingly complex and agile supply chains, requiring a flexible exchange of many (often commercially sensitive) datasets with a variety of stakeholders.

Organizations in logistics are currently developing and implementing digitization strategies to adapt and prepare to extract value from these opportunities. However, the scale of the challenge transcends the boundaries of organizations. This project builds on the work and analysis of the needs, approach, positioning and roadmap for a Dutch logistics data space in the recently published white paper on the logistics infrastructure for data sharing.

SUCCESS:

Motivated because of conclusions from the white paper and previous research that there is a need for a Dutch Logistics Data Space (DLDS) that expands the limited functions of the current framework approaches for logistics agreements (such as iSHARE) and meets international developments and standards as also applicable in other sectors in the increasingly cross-sectoral and intertwined supply chains. That is why the DASLOGIS project aims to develop a DLDS: a digital virtual environment or ecosystem that enables the finding and controlled sharing of (potentially) sensitive data. It offers flexibility, extensibility, and personalization to support the three main types of logistics data exchange: "sharing transaction data for operational optimization," "sharing (big) data for data for data analysis," and "supply chain data sharing for real-time visibility."

DLDS will be based on the generic and internationally standardized IDS reference architecture model, supplemented and adapted to Dutch logistics needs where applicable. The Proof of Concept (PoC) of the DLDS is validated using three functional prototypes. The project partners will also demonstrate and assess the technical feasibility and business value of a DLDS for the Dutch logistics sector based on logistics use case.

Metal Domain Data Space - Market 4.0

CHALLENGE:

Selecting the most suitable new manufacturing equipment is a time-consuming challenge for many customers. There’s no easy way to digest all available information about options, so customers must browse the internet, attend trade shows and talk to multiple experts in order to reach an informed decision. We wondered if data spaces could help integrate and streamline this process. We focused specifically on the metal domain.

SUCCESS:

The MARKET 4.0 Metal Domain Data Space is based on the IDS Reference Architecture Model (RAM). It describes a robust and efficient solution for linking the inventories of different equipment manufacturers to a MARKET 4.0 service that analyses the customer’s requirements and returns the most suitable equipment options for a certain metal domain manufacturing process. The connection is made through IDS connectors and the inventories and services include essential IDS modules (i.e., clearing house, metadata broker) that guarantee a trusted data exchange.

BENEFITS:

The MARKET 4.0 Metal Domain Data Space makes the selection of manufacturing equipment simpler and more efficient, getting to a better result in less time.
It is flexible and offers two solutions:
1. Connecting equipment manufacturer repositories with a single IDS connector. The equipment manufacturers do not require knowledge of the IDS RAM. Only the connector owner needs to have it.
2. Connecting one service with multiple data providers via IDS connectors. The benefit of this is that the data provider controls the data flow and is independent of the connector provider.

Smart Factory

VTT | Konecranes-Fastems-Danfoss

The Smart Factory is a step towards the Industry 4.0 vision for smart manufacturing where different machines interact with each other without, or with minimal, human control. The use case and involved IDS Solutions provide multiple benefits. For example, machines (and the companies that operate them) can better control with whom and what data is shared, and how data consumers handle the shared data. Moreover, IDS provides a systematic way to introduce new machines / companies into the factory and no case-by-case integration solutions are needed. With the IDS certification scheme, different stakeholders (both in-factory and external) can ensure that the utilized data exchange components address required security requirements. Finally, IDS brings improved interoperability across different data exchange protocols and formats, and data models.

BENEFITS:

Enhance trusted data sharing across factory borders facilitating e.g. the creation of digital twins
Enable interaction between machines and systems using different communication protocols (i.e. OPC-UA and non-OPC-UA)

COMPONENTS:

Mobility Data Space

CHALLENGE:

Intelligent traffic and mobility systems require a large amount of data in order to support decisions in the best possible way or even to take them automatically. Although countless mobility data are already collected and processed today, comprehensive utilization of these data is often not possible for technical, legal or economic reasons. With the Mobility Data Space (MDS), an open IDS-based data space that goes beyond the secure exchange of sensitive mobility data, as well as linking existing data platforms with one another (cf. Mobility Data Marketplace – MDM). In this way, comprehensive mobility data can be made available in the future without worrying about misuse of data.

SUCCESS:

The MDS enables the sovereign handling of data for digital mobility solutions. Common legal frameworks based on European data protection guidelines form the basis for this.
By linking offers from different mobility providers, individual mobility can be better combined with public transport offers and sharing providers. New possibilities also arise for traffic control by local authorities when data from private motor vehicles are combined with parking space utilization data and data from local public transport. Real-time information, for example, taking road works or traffic jams into account, allows flexible adjustment of routes for private and public transport vehicles. The perspective to be compliant with other data spaces that cover different domains create a whole new understanding of the mobility sector. The MDS will go live in the first half of 2022 as one of the first IDS-based data space operating at the market worldwide.

Energy Data Space (EnDaSpace)

Fraunhofer IEE | Fraunhofer IWES | Fraunhofer ISST | Fraunhofer IOSB-INA | Fraunhofer IOSB-AST

CHALLENGE:

The digitization of the energy transition aims to harness information from a large number of decentralized power generators. With the prospect of green hydrogen gaining importance in the energy sector, the sources of electricity supply for the electrolysis of hydrogen is important. Operation of electrolyzers need to consider availability of green electricity, actual power prices and grid situation. In this use case wind power should be used for hydrogen production when the resource is available.

SUCCESS:

Communication between the plants and systems takes place via an Energy Data Space. Here, plants exchange data according to agreed rules and under certain conditions. An IDS connector implements these rules and processes. The concept of International Data Spaces thus enables all players to make self-determined decisions about the use of their data, thus enabling their digital sovereignty.

The turbine operator provides a data resource with operational data via an IDS connector. An energy management system from a third party provides the digital service to create an optimized schedule which is then sent to the electrolyzer for operation.

BENEFITS:

Provision of operational wind data resource
Digital Service for Calculation of an optimized schedule

Q

Vehicle Charging

EDF

Electric Vehicles drivers can find charging their cars confusing and worrying:

Multiple smartphone apps/RFID cards needed to access different public charging networks
Varied pricing rates and structures
Limited interoperability of networks
Difficulty to plan long journeys across multiple networks
Users must plan their journeys more akin to that of a commuter using public transport.
Users can find charging points not working / already in use

All is exacerbated if a driver does not have a home charger or lives in an apartment block with no charging facilities (which is likely at the early stage of EV market development).

There are many data sources separately held that could unlock solution and value if they were aggregated and centralised for use and analysis. We propose to enhance roaming standards to allow operators to offer enhanced services that enable customers to freely move and charge between their home charger and partnering public charging networks, allowing a view of all of their EV ‘fuel’ in one place.

BENEFITS:

This service will improve the EV’s owner experience, by dematerializing the payment amd facilitating the planification of a long journey
It will enable real time connection with charging points (CP), in order to monitor CP availability and CP failures

Wind and Solar Assets modeling

EDF

When it comes to manage efficiently and effectively the renewable assets and all the O&M actions for the different actors (Manufacturers, Owners, Developers, Operators, ...), the difficulties to access to data exploitable in a cross functional way by these different profiles of actors and the different digital systems mobilized represents a real challenge.

The wind and solar description model is the digital backbone to federate all the businesses and its ecosystem around one single source of truth from “DESIGN, MODIFICATION to others REFRESHMENT”. This structured, agnostic asset management description support business process orchestration in a context of new business model refocused on growth of decentralized and distributed energy and carbon neutrality "as a service".

Being able to share the same abstract representation of data for the wind and solar domain would allow a better understanding of the associated operations (asset management, RCA, Structural Analysis, Visual Inspection, monitoring ...) and an obvious improvement of the processes that mobilize the processing of this information. It lays foundations of virtual plants.

BENEFITS:

Opportunity to build comprehensive models, and analytics frameworks and improve multiparty collaboration capabilities needed to support digital ecosystems. It lays the foundations of virtual plants with their benefits

Data Sharing Coalition - Green Loans

Data Sharing Coalition

In this use case, the consumer will be enabled to use their energy data to receive support with making their house more sustainable. This support can range from sustainability advice to a favourable “Green Loan” for investments in energy saving measures (e.g. heat pumps or solar cells). The consumer shares data on his or her energy consumption with an intermediary and/or loan provider, who in turn is able to assess potential savings from certain energy saving measures. This can be standalone advice but can also be incorporated in advice on a loan to finance these energy saving measures.

This use case gives the consumer more control over their energy data, as they can decide to use their data to access advice or attractive financial value propositions. With their new “green loans” and input for sustainability advice, financial institutes are able to support the transition to a more sustainable society.

Würth C-Part Supply

Würth

The transformation of the existing IT infrastructure to an event- and microservice-based software architecture involves a great deal of effort and also risks, since the transformation must take place in parallel with ongoing operations. The entire business logic (at least on the customer side) and thus the control of functions and processes must be mapped in microservices and orchestrated to form the overall service.

SOLUTION:

Moving to the technical platform considering the framework, rules and reference architectures of IDS, Gaia-X and Silicon Economy.
Successive implementation of individual icons in web services, initially on a Fraunhofer IML test infrastructure (Kubernetes cluster for orchestrating microservices encapsulated in application containers).
Implementation of a tool for the orchestration of web services control for the execution or support of logistical processes and services.

Defense Data Space

TNO | CGI | Department of Defense

CHALLENGE:

During deployments, it is critical that Defense can share critical up-to-date information with aid agencies, local authorities, and other civilian parties. However, these partners are not part of the secure defense network.
FEDICE - an acronym for Federated Digital Collaboration Environment - ensures that Defense and its partners can continue to share information digitally in a simple, manageable, and secure way.

SUCCESS:

TNO and CGI have been working together for the Department of Defense on this NTP (National Technology Project) for the past two years. They have developed an intelligent platform for information management in federations. The platform enables rapid ad hoc collaboration with aid organizations and other partners while keeping the data at the source. FEDICE supports the sharing of information as needed.
Throughout all of this, the confidentiality of information is taken into account to ensure that data does not get to the wrong places. In addition, logging makes it possible to track which data was released at what time and in which version. The prototype developed was successfully tested earlier this year during a large-scale exercise by the 13th Light Brigade of the Royal Netherlands Army. It has demonstrably made a good step from theory to practice.

HEALTH-X dataLOFT

CHALLENGE:

The health sector is highly regulated and health data is considered to be worthy of special protection. Most of the data from the first and second health domains are locked in proprietary systems that significantly hinder the pooling and secondary use of health data. In addition to a centrally controlled collection of health data, as in China, or a largely libertarian, economically designed consolidation along the lines of the U.S. model, there is scope for Europe to design a third path, that of a citizen-centered health data space. The strategic orientation of this concept is to place citizens at the center of the provision, use and control of their own health data from the primary and secondary health markets and thereby to expand Europe's differentiating competitive advantage. Health data will be integrated into a legitimate, open and supported dataLOFT platform and made accessible according to GAIA-X standards.

SUCCESS:

The goal is to develop transparent, cloud-based health applications with leading representatives of health IT and health care. The concepts of the Medical Informatics Initiative for semantic and syntactic interoperability and regulated data use, as well as legally binding Gema-tik standards and solutions of the telematics infrastructure will be integrated for the networking of the health sectors and the integrative use of the data. dataLOFT will create an ecosystem of health applications based on the data sovereignty of citizens and patients as users and donors of health data and thus contribute to a broad acceptance and high economic relevance of dataLOFT.

GAIA-X - MERLOT

imc | AWSI | edu-sense | HKA | HPI | IBM | IDSA | 1&1 Ionos | iServ | Schülerkarriere | TUK

CHALLENGE:

The digitization of education is intended to improve educational opportunities and make them fairer. However, in order to identify individual educational needs through algorithms, for example, extensive personal data requiring a high degree of protection (e.g., educational path, goals) is required, which must not be digitally processed because of threats to fundamental rights. The Corona Crisis urgently calls for a solution to this contradiction.

SUCCESS:

The goal of the project is to create specially protected educational data spaces, including services, which are available via marketplaces.

Wind Energy Generation Data Space

ATTEN2 | Tekniker

CHALLENGE:

A very important aspect of the competitiveness in the wind farms is the maintenance of all the components of the wind turbine. Only wind farm developers and wind turbine manufacturers (OEMs) have access to data collected from operating wind turbines and are therefore the only actors currently working on extracting added value from data at the "top of the value chain". Therefore, most European wind turbine component suppliers, engineering companies or ICT companies cannot obtain, manage, analyse, and learn from the data produced by wind turbines in operation, thus missing the opportunity to improve their competitiveness.

SUCCESS:

The use case shows how the adoption of the IDSA Architecture boost the exchange of the data monitored by the sensors installed in wind turbines, which belong to the wind farm owner and the OEM, with other interested third parties such as technology and component suppliers, as secure data exchange and data sovereignty is guaranteed.

Furthermore, it is also shown how this data sharing enables added value creation through information fusion. The deployment of the solution combines edge processing with the cloud demonstrating its applicability in wind turbine plants.

BENEFITS:

A deeper understanding of the technical characteristics and performance of the wind turbines' critical systems and components.
Developing a highly skilled and competitive supply chain
Less investment in data analysis systems thanks to the collaboration and support of specialized suppliers with in-depth knowledge of the technical characteristics and performance of the components supplied

City Dataspace

Wuppertal | Solingen | Remscheid | APTIV

CHALLENGE:

Smart cities are becoming more and more of a reality every day. While the first autonomous vehicles are making their way into cities on a trial basis, parking lots can already report whether they are occupied or free, sensors monitor air quality, and multimodal apps also enable people to get around using different mobility solutions. What all these applications have in common is that they are based on data generated and managed in different places by different actors. However, applications based on Open and Urban Data in particular have the disadvantage that they are either built specifically for exactly one city and then only work there or have to be adapted for other cities at great expense. The reason for this is that today's Open & Urban Data portals provide data sets in different formats, models and schemas. In addition to these syntactic differences, there are also semantic differences, such as different metrics or geo-reference systems. This is exactly what makes it costly for app developers to develop solutions that work outside of a municipality.

The City Dataspace focuses on the challenge of increasing and enabling the usability of Smart City relevant Open and Urban data using the example of mobility and geodata across municipal boundaries.

SUCCESS:

The City Dataspace aims to enable the data-driven smart city of tomorrow by enabling compatibility of heterogeneous open and urban data from different municipalities together with data from other stakeholders across city boundaries. For this purpose, the City Dataspace relies on the established semantic technologies, combined with new innovative concepts to simplify the use of the required technologies. These concepts are intended to make it possible to provide semantically annotated data in an interoperable way with little effort. This interoperability should enable app developers to develop an app once and roll it out to a large number of municipalities using the City Dataspace. Conversely, the City Dataspace enables municipalities to participate in existing apps just by making their data available.

BENEFITS:

The City Dataspace aims to enable the data-driven smart city of tomorrow by enabling compatibility of heterogeneous open and urban data from different municipalities together with data from other stakeholders across city boundaries.

COMPONENTS:

The City Dataspace is a Knowledge Graph-based Data Management platform that allows access to batch and streaming data using different kinds of data connectors. As IDS components, the city data space will especially focus on using IDS Connectors and IDS Metadata Broker.

DataPorts

CHALLENGE:

Although many projects/initiatives have dealt and/or are dealing with developing data platforms architectures in diversified application domains, not many projects have addressed integration in port environments with the possibility of including cognitive services/applications and extending/federating the platform to whole transportation routes covering whole Europe. Lack of interoperable, scalable, reliable data platforms causes major technological and business issues such as the impossibility to plug non-interoperable data sources into heterogeneous data platforms, the impossibility to develop applications to exploit heterogeneous data in homogeneous and/or cross domains, slowness of data technology introduction at a large-scale, discouragement in adopting data sharing technology, increase of costs, scarce reusability of data, user dissatisfaction, and lack of unified data governance mechanisms.

SUCCESS:

DataPorts aims to design, develop, set-up and operate a data platform for the trusted, secure and reliable data sharing with IDS connectors and trading among the actors operating in the diverse supply chains involved in the seaports, also enabling the connection with other stakeholders in the logistics supply chain.

BENEFITS

The adoption and use of this Data Platform by existing connected / digital ports will imply their transition to actual cognitive ports, taking real advantage of the huge amount of data produced by the stakeholders and opening the way to new capabilities: Real-time control of operations; Streamlined decision making; Accurate prediction of future events and situations; Prescriptive analytics.

COMPONENTS

In the context of the DataPorts project, an industrial data platform (cognitive ports data platform) has been designed and implemented that: 1. Connects to different digital infrastructures currently existing in digital seaports, enabling the interconnection of a wide variety of systems into a tightly integrated ecosystem, 2. Sets the policies for a trusted and reliable data sharing and trading based on data owners’ rules and offering a clear value proposition, and 3. Leverages on the data collected to provide advanced data analytics services based on which the different actors in the port value chain cloud develop novel AI and cognitive applications. In the context of the DataPorts platform, to realize data sharing and data exchange, two main approaches are considered: • Data is stored off-chain: Generally, in this approach, we follow the concept of the International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) reference architecture model. In a nutshell, we consider the P2P data exchange between the data owners and data consumers through the IDSA connectors. To ensure the security and privacy aspects, blockchain manages consent of access to data. Smart contracts decide if a particular access to data is allowed concerning the invoker’s credentials and the specification of access rules for the data. • Data is stored on-chain (blockchain for shared data): Blockchain platform records transactions related to shared data and processes of all participants in a business network. For instance, cold chains alarms of a container for verification of its state such as if conditions have been compromised, allows everybody in the network to be aware of the event and act upon it. This approach in fact ensures verifiable and immutable information on shared data through the entire chain to all business network participants, serving as a single source of truth and providing transparency and a not-repudiation process. In the first approach, the data (sovereign data) is kept on the owner’s premises. The metadata for sovereign data is published to the broker (IDSA broker). A data consumer needs to understand whether the data he seeks is a shared data stored in Blockchain or is stored by a data owner. To clarify this, the data consumer must access the IDSA broker, and in case the data is sovereign data, data sharing rules are used to determine if a data access is allowed. Eventually, in case of a legitimate data access, a peer-to-peer secure communication with data owner to obtain data is initialized through IDSA connectors.

H2 Metaverse

ARENA-INNOVATION | CODE_n

CHALLENGE:

The latest draft of the "Act to Accelerate the Use of Liquefied Natural Gas” („Gesetzes zur Beschleunigung des Einsatzes verflüssigten Erdgases“) sees a significant change in reallocation of LNG import terminals for the import of hydrogen. In the draft, it is no longer mandatory that green hydrogen or its derivatives must replace the fossil fuel LNG. Now there is talk of "climate-neutral hydrogen and derivatives". This means that hydrogen based on natural gas, of which CO2 is fully captured and not released into the atmosphere can also be used. With blue hydrogen, the CO2 would be stored underground (CCS). In the case of turquoise hydrogen, it would be done using the – at large-scale not yet tested – methane pyrolysis converted into solid matter. In both cases it would have to be ensured that during extraction and transport of the natural gas no methane escapes. In theory, even hydrogen falls into this category, that would be produced by electrolysis using nuclear power.

SUCCESS:

A project draft (Projektskizze) has already been submitted to BMBF under the acronym "h2republic". The goal is that a new "H2 Data Space" for sovereign data exchange shall be created, which shall stand at the basis of the "H2 Metaverse" platform. Due to the technical complexity of the "H2 Data Space", it should remain hidden to the eye of the conventional "H2 Metaverse" platform user. Hence, the "H2 Data Space" shall be the interface to the programmers and smart service providers, whereas the "H2 Metaverse" shall be the interface to the conventional Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) players by using predefined smart services according to their requirements. Such smart federated services can/shall be the implementation of standardized Digital Twins for ensuring cross-sectoral interoperability along the entire value chain and for depicting the entire physical hydrogen world into the digital H2 Metaverse, which at the end should become a de-facto standard for the entire gas domain.

BENEFITS

Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) technologies are defined as sector coupling technologies for coupling the energy and mobility sector together. Hence, it is obvious, that the newly created "H2 Data Space" will link up the already existing energy and mobility data spaces and of course other as well. On the other hand, in order to ensure sovereign data exchange and interoperability, it will try to digitally interconnect all FCH clusters worldwide. In order to prevent lock-in effects, the H2 Metaverse shall not belong to one person or entity but to the whole users and be created by them while being at the same time free of charge. With regard to the business model, this shall be realized via company participation (Gesellschaftsbeteiligung) with all the 16 German states (Bundesländer), similar to the already existing company participation of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg to the "mobility data space".

COMPONENTS:

The H2 Metaverse platform shall be similar to the Catena-X platform in terms of visibility. For this all the necessary IDS components, like for example the IDS/Eclipse Connector and so on shall be used.

Resilience and Sustainability Data Space

ADVANEO

CHALLENGE:

News about evolving or new global crises (e.g. pandemic, war, disasters…) have become “the new normal” over the recent years. In our connected world, dampening their effects, adapting and becoming more resilient and thus sustainable, can be improved vastly, by building shared solutions along these connections. And the backbone of these connections is data. As prominent use cases the PAIRS-and the SPELL-Plattform will be part of the Resilience and Sustainability Dataspace.

CHALLENGE:

Due to the great freedom of design, additive manufacturing (AM) offers enormous potential for lightweight construction. In order to harness this potential, it is crucial to integrate knowledge between the individual stages of the AM value chain. By digitally linking AM process and product data, lightweight design and production can be further optimized in economic and ecological terms. The present use case demonstrates the added value for the lightweight potential of additively manufactured (laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)) aluminum components when decentralized material and AM process data is shared between actors via a cross-institutional data space.

In the present use case, a design engineer aims to optimize a component, originally manufactured by casting AlSi10Mg, with regard to lightweight design by means of topology optimization for AM. A process-specific topology optimization algorithm (PSTO) will provide an optimized design and also knowledge of the best suited combination of AM-machine, part orientation in build space and a heat treatment. As input for this design algorithm, decentralized data about mechanical material characteristics, AM process parameters and post-processing information such as heat or surface treatment has to be shared and linked in an automatic manner. Since the different data is provided by different actors, compliance with the FAIR data principles is paramount.

SUCCESS:

To meet this need, a data space architecture based on the International Data Spaces (IDS) reference architecture model is designed and implemented. By doing so, the very first instance of the Materials Data Space® (MDS) is created. Using the MDS in this context ensures

findability (F) of the decentralized data and their owners through the use of a broker as a virtual marketplace,
secure and automated access (A) to the data from the IT infrastructures of the institutions,
interoperability (I) in data sharing with full guarantee of data sovereignty through the use of the IDS connectors, and
the reusability (R) of the data by the PSTO based on machine- and human-understandable metadata in the form of knowledge graphs.

The knowledge graphs describe the entire process chain from additive manufacturing to mechanical testing and embed the resulting data in its context through an ontology-based process model. These semantic metadata enable the linking of data in the sense of a cross-institutional data fabric and automated data analysis for intelligent lightweight design by the design engineer.

BENEFITS:

The lightweight potential of additively manufactured components can be optimally exploited through process-specific topology optimization.
The decentralized material, process and component data are semantically linked and shared in an automatic manner while maintaining the highest data sovereignty standards.
A scalable solution for the integration of data and analysis results from the data space into the design process of lightweight components is provided.
Detailed, diverse material, process and component data for AM lightweight materials are provided in a scalable data space architecture.
Tools for digital modelling of value chains and interoperable description of data and domain knowledge have been developed.

Macau-EU Cross-Border Flow of Scientific Research Data

Macau University of Science and Technology | Fraunhofer ISST

CHALLENGE:

The safe and orderly flow and governance of data has become a global issue, and the cross-border flow of data is one of the most complex sub-issue. At the outset, the existing international data cross-border flow mechanism is experiencing pressure from various aspects such as “EU-US Privacy Shield Frameworks” agreement overturned and Standard Contractual Clauses require additional “supplementary measures”, etc. Given the fact that data has become more and more important for the development of both economy and society at large, the “investigation after the fact” approach cannot meet the satisfaction of some countries or regions for security and management concerns. In addition, how the different requirements for data export in different jurisdictions apply to the same business brings huge problems to practice when data keeps flowing. In this case, Macau University of Science and Technology and the Fraunhofer ISST are respectively located in different jurisdictions. As a consequence, the cross-border flow of scientific research data involving personal information often arises in the scientific research cooperation activities between the two parties. If we transfer any kind of data in the multi-center joint scientific research activities, except for the traditional research ethics requirements, the two parties must also meet the requirements of their respective laws and regulations on the export of personal information.

SUCCESS:

In order to explore the mechanism for the safe and orderly flow of data across borders in the digital era, we can together establish a trinity of “legal regulations + management mechanism + technical assurance” model in the field of scientific research, covering the whole process of “before, during and after course”.

BENEFITS:

This has not only mark the possible and trust way to realize the purpose of data cross-border issues that needed to be addressed, but also laid a solid foundation for the future exploration in regards to this area. It is also a great opportunity to promote the development and fame of IDS in Macau and Asia.

SCUNY (SChool UNited EconomY)

Orbiter

CHALLENGE:

SCUNY (School – UNited – EconomY) should become a community and networking platform that offers networking and collaboration opportunities for students and professionals from business, politics and social organizations. In addition to the search for cooperation in projects or 1:1 mentoring, potential analyses can be carried out and mutual learning nuggets can be deposited and expert insights can be planned and offered, in which students or experienced professionals share their knowledge. There are already many offerings (from organizations and also ideas from students), but the interface that unites everything is missing.

The issues of data protection, trust, traceability, transparency and security are cornerstones for the (technical) functioning of the project. Without all this, sharing and exchanging learning progress and documents is difficult, especially because parents demand a controlled space for their children to work and develop. It is necessary to think not only about what content and functions can look like, but also what it takes to protect them from misuse, theft and manipulation. Rules must be defined and technically implemented that everyone must adhere to. So far, there is no suitable approach to doing this adequately.

SUCCESS:

The truzzt box, which technically realizes IDS specifications, forms the central management and control body for digital life in the SCUNY use case. A virtual data container is provided for each party of the platform, which is in the full control of the owner and allows trustworthy and secure collaboration with other internal and external persons. Every transaction is transparently and traceably logged, data can be securely stored, provided with terms of use and shared. The user interface forms idento.one as an applicative layer and allows a maximum user experience. Partner integration is simplified thanks to IDS connectors.

BENEFITS:

Traceability and transparency based on a technical implemented IDS-based approach

PLATOON: Wind Energy

CHALLENGE:

The goal of this pilot is to provide predictive maintenance of wind turbines with a focus on the generator and power converter, which can be applied to other pilots or use cases. However, nowadays, energy data does not generally comply with the FAIR principles. In fact, it is normally kept in silos within companies and it is hardly reused for other purposes than the ones initially conceived for. In addition, in certain cases access to data is limited to some influential big companies. This is a big innovation barrier for academia, RTOs and SMEs as they cannot leverage this data to develop new products and services. This situation around data is one of the main blockers for the energy transition.

SUCCESS:

IDS solutions are used as the basis of PLATOON’s solution for data sharing. PLATOON leverages sovereign data sharing as an enabler to develop innovative data analytics tools by combining data from multiple stakeholders from the energy value chain to unlock new value and further optimise the energy sector.

Q

Cross-domain: Web 3.0 Data Space

Post-Platforms Sciences | Po Startinblox | Digita Digentity | SolidLab

CHALLENGE:

- Platforms quickly monopolize their market niches. There is almost no connection between different platforms and a serious vendor lock-in problem. They monetize the users' content, yet any account can be arbitrarily banned.

- These challenges are totally relevant for each and every industry:

- Museums suffer without proper intellectual property rights management and provenance tracking

- Enterprise sector suffocates under hundreds of different software systems and databases

- Hotels struggle to pay a 20% commission to booking platforms

- Traditional and social media promote lots of fake news, while fact-checking consumes huge resources

- Individuals don’t really own and control even their healthcare and wellness data, spread across multiple platforms and systems

- Cadastre and tax authorities cannot properly harmonize their systems and databases, making citizens suffer

Etc.

SUCCESS:

The pool of billions of PODs for people, organizations, and things represents the Data Space itself. PODs are not interconnected among them. They are accessed only by and via platforms (we call them post-platforms).

Post-platforms get controlled access to PODs, read them and write back on them. Only authorized by the owners of PODs users get access to specific data on PODs, and it does not matter which platform they use. These post-platforms are not interconnected amongst them and they do not hold any original data, just cache copies.

Due to advanced security by design users have e-passports, issued by a developed public key infrastructure (PKI). With such e-passport, users can control their PODs, identify/authenticate themselves, get money from ATM, or open a hotel room. Users will not need logins/passwords anymore.

Personal PODs keep data created by their owner, but also public and third-party data, for example, Cadastre, police or municipality data, other authorities, healthcare records, data from schools and universities, etc.

BENEFITS:

The Web 3.0 Data Space concept makes the physical world intensely data-rich and merges online and offline interactions into a single yet fully decentralized metaverse.
Individual PODs keep all the information originated by a person via their online activities, including sent messages, posts, transactions, various files they created, etc.
The same storage also keeps track of all messages, comments, and reactions they or their content ever received.
Organizations and public authorities also record on the POD every piece of information about its owner's identity and legal liabilities, and this data cannot be changed or deleted by anyone but its authors. Every entity also stores all the information related to its business and legal interactions on its POD. Just like individual ones, their PODs become unique focal points for their data.
The Web 3.0 Data Space also implies that sooner or later, every real estate, vehicle, device, or even many parts of them will have their own separate PODs. All information regarding their history (ownership, origin, modifications, adjustments, etc.), their future (resource left, maintenance scheduled), and their interactions with other subjects and objects will become available to their owners, manufacturers, regulators, partners, etc.

Post-Platforms for Supply Chain

Post-Platforms Sciences | Po Startinblox | Digita Digentity | SolidLab

CHALLENGE:

Full supply chain automation is not yet fully achievable due to data exchange and platform interconnectivity challenges

- Vendor lock-in is another huge issue: users and companies cannot switch between different digital service providers

- Data silos created by numerous conflicting records in different databases impact every player in the industry

- Interactions with suppliers, logistics partners, and clients require a lot of resources mainly because of the different IT solutions each of them uses

- Data analysis and proper supply chain optimization require the widest access to quality and structured Big Data, which is currently not available

SUCCESS:

Dedicated PODs are assigned to each entity participating in the supply chain, including suppliers, contractors, and off-takers

- Every piece of information is updated immediately, and there are absolutely no data conflicts

- No vendor lock-in, since users can seamlessly switch between platforms

- The usage of Linked Data facilitates real-time data analysis and works with different data formats

Post-Platforms for Smart City

Post-Platforms Sciences | Po Startinblox | Digita Digentity SolidLab | City of Amsterdam | City of Rio de Janeiro

CHALLENGE:

Various actors, from public services like Police and City planning to private companies in the transport, garbage processing, construction, and utilities, currently use hundreds and thousands of databases, platforms, apps, and systems, creating probably the biggest data silos ever, with an incredible amount of outdated records and data conflicts.

SUCCESS:

In our Web 3.0 Data Space solution, we place all data concerning each respective building, every road, as well as every significant part of the electricity, pipe, gas, and other networks on dedicated PODs.

Now every authorized entity, public or private, can work (read and write) with the very same “data at the source”, which is always correct and always up to date. This is the same approach as working with a shared document: every user works on the same original record and can see all changes in real-time.

We believe and can prove that a similar approach is totally realistic even for the biggest urban agglomerations.

BENEFITS:

Life quality improvement due to better data-based and citizen-centric policy making Better commuting thanks to optimized itineraries and real-time data on population and road infrastructure 100% correct and always up-to-date official records, used by each and every public service or by authorized private organizations Tax, address, and other public systems automation based on available data on every element of city infrastructure

Q

Post-Platforms for Manufacturing

Post-Platforms Sciences | Po Startinblox | Digita Digentity | SolidLab

CHALLENGE:

Every large corporation nowadays suffers from too many poorly interconnected IT systems, databases, and platforms. It’s even more challenging for large manufacturing companies where the number of systems may reach ~1000.

Even from the end-user perspective, this situation is quite stressful and energy-consuming: human resources are used in a non-optimal way because of all the files exchange, related paperwork, unautomated communications; etc. But if we look at it holistically, we’ll see large business performances considerably impacted by these dozens or even hundreds of balkanized platforms and systems with their respective databases.

Lack of interoperability is the most apparent issue. Still, there is another one behind it: data silos, multiple copies of similar data without a clear understanding of which version is the most recent. These data silos automatically imply that there is no control over data quality and that your technical teams spend lots of effort to interconnect all these often almost incompatible systems and to coordinate their incoherent ontologies. Last but not least, it negatively affects data transmission outside the company, including both communications with its clients and all interactions with its suppliers and contractors, which is especially crucial for the manufacturing sector.

All these issues constantly keep too many human resources busy, consume too much energy, and result in the underperformance of the whole business.

SUCCESS:

Corporate data doesn’t have to fit Procrustean beds of a multitude of different databases with different ontologies and data formats. Instead, it can be stored in a universal and fully machine-readable Linked Data format on separate secure virtual servers – we call them PODs – for each object you interact with.

Each machine or piece of equipment you use, each client or contractor you are connected with, can have such a POD with every single piece of data related to them stored there.

BENEFITS:

Transparent access to all relevant ship related data
Secure, robust and efficient communication between ship and shore
Simplified provision of trusted services for ship operation

Post Platforms for Renewable Energy

Post-Platforms Sciences | Po Startinblox | Digita Digentity | SolidLab

CHALLENGE:

Lack of coordination for distributed energy generation: there’s no single system to automatically monitor the real-time performance of each energy-generating device

- Lack of coordination for installation funding and energy purchase: individuals and organizations don’t have access to up-to-date information regarding funding and other financial options available

- Lack of information for other available incentives: regional, national, and European renewable energy support programs often communicate quite poorly with their target audience and need to make their programs and incentives available to each and every user

- Lack of structured data regarding energy output, new and existing installations, etc., makes existing statistics imprecise and not always accurate, as a consequence impacting also the policy-making, construction of unnecessary new grids, creating non-optimized financial services, etc.

SUCCESS:

All data from every installation is stored on PODs, making their data instantly available (and fully machine-readable) for any authorized platform, including off-takers, providers, maintenance teams, etc.

The same abundant and well-structured data can now be analyzed by research institutions, University labs, policymaker's offices, etc., helping to improve their respective recommendations and decisions.

On the other hand, every public or financial institution also publishes their programs and projects on their own PODs, so that they are accessible to every interested individual or organization.

BENEFITS:

Transparent access to all relevant ship related data
Secure, robust and efficient communication between ship and shore
Simplified provision of trusted services for ship operation

Post-Platforms for Automotive

Post-Platforms Sciences | Po Startinblox | Digita Digentity | SolidLab

CHALLENGE:

The automotive industry is one of the most complex manufacturing industries ever since it uses thousands of components made by hundreds of suppliers, and then handles the maintenance of millions of vehicles of hundreds of different makes and models.

Such large corporations nowadays suffer from too many poorly interconnected IT systems, databases, and platforms. It’s even more challenging for automotive companies where a number of systems may easily overpass ~1000.

At the same time, the automotive industry is tightly connected to such complex niches as infotainment, cartography, itineraries, etc., where cars can and shall both receive road information from external sources and share the data the car records itself with other systems and vehicles.

SUCCESS:

Our solution is pretty straightforward. We connect a dedicated server - a POD - to each vehicle and its key components. Each POD stores all the telemetric data in real-time, and allows access and processing of this data via any authorized platform. These are the same IoT and smart vehicles we already know but on a totally new level of specification and accessibility.

Integrations with other systems, including geopositioning, itineraries, hotel bookings, charging stations, etc., become seamless since every vehicle and every respective entity or spot can now automatically exchange data through any platform selected by the manufacturer or by the owner.

BENEFITS:

Transparent access to all relevant ship related data
Secure, robust and efficient communication between ship and shore
Simplified provision of trusted services for ship operation

SUCCESS:

The Tidy City experiment proposes to equip vehicles with mobile devices to take pictures and later process them to automatically detect and classify problems in publicly visible infrastructures. To reduce pollution and CO2 emissions, street-level images will be collected by a wide range of vehicles that already travel the city streets daily, such as waste collection trucks and express delivery vehicles.

The collected images are sent to a server for analysis and classification based on AI models. Within the scope of this experiment, the system will be able to detect and record the GPS location of damages in outdoor advertising, lightning, and electricity supply infrastructures, and improper waste disposal situations (e.g., waste outside containers, tires, old appliances, and furniture).

The detected occurrences data will be shared with each corresponding partner for integration and operations optimization. To comply with the RGPD and other European and National legal requirements, all personally identifiable information (e.g., people’s faces and license plates) will be removed from the images through the same privacy by-design processes already used by Google Street View.

BENEFITS:

The Data Space will allow for multiple interested parties to access detailed and treated information (AI applied to image frames does detect anomalies) regarding various kinds of occurrences detectable from the public streets.

COMPONENTS:

This use case is part of the i4Trust second call for experiments, It will use FIWARE's Orion Context Broker protected with the gateway proxy Kong (open source) for the data sharing.

ManuSpace

SUCCESS:

By utilizing the ManuSpace dataspace, manufacturers can not only reduce the cost to the patient but more importantly reduce the time it takes to get these life-saving medicines to the people that need them.

Through interoperable data sharing, we can ensure that contract manufacturing capacity is maximized. In turn, ManuSpace can help alleviate drug shortage problems for some of the most vulnerable in society.

BENEFITS:

As more and more, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies choose to outsource their manufacturing projects - companies must evaluate the performance of its Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) and determine whether it meets industry and regulatory standards.

Companies outsource business activities to external partners for a variety of reasons – cost, flexibility, time to market, and core competence. This outsourcing leads to an increased risk of non-compliance to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) procedures which in turn is a risk to the brand reputation of the company.

Data integrity is critical in the pharmaceutical industry to make sure that the end products meet all the required quality standards. Enabling the digitisation and automation of cross-organisational business processes integral to pharmaceutical manufacturing will help improve supply chain security and help reduce the time to patient

Data Space for Multimodal Passenger Mobility

iShare.eu | fairsfair.org | IBM

SUCCESS:

GDPR compliance and collaboration are the two main issues in reshaping mobility. Data ownership and different vocabularies stand in the way. By decentralised identity management and the data clearing house functionality set in a blockchain, supporting data consistency,

we offer the foundation for transport operators, passenger and authorities to collaborate. Data can be (re)used for individual feedback, operational excellence and overall aligning the mobility services to the local needs. Fulfilling three out of four intermediary roles and using frontier technology IDS contributes to this. Lacking in IDS is the control over personal attributes, a solution we designed in a similar decentralised fashion as iShare

EdgeDS

Intracom Telecom

SUCCESS:

This use case addresses the emerging need for secure, trustworthy, and sovereign data

exchange among diverse stakeholders in edge computing ecosystems.

This approach integrates mechanisms for trustworthy and sovereign data exchange, into Multi-access Edge

Computing (MEC) environments, by extending the ETSI MEC Architectural Framework with

IDS components and enriching Edge Computing applications with data space capabilities in

an as-a-service paradigm.

BENEFITS:

This work highlights the feasibility and usability of incorporating an IDS Connector-as-a-Service within the MEC Platform, towards creating a data ecosystem that enables trustworthy and sovereign data exchange and intercommunication of multiple domains and applications that are hosted at the Edge.

The proposed architecture provides the capability of utilizing and composing Dataspace-enabled MEC Applications, where any MEC App can act as a data service provider (potentially under some pricing scheme) towards other MEC Apps. This is not restricted to the supply of data but also extends to data processes (e.g., ML models, data analytics workflows, etc.). Moreover, the MEC Platform itself can offer such value-added services, in addition to secure data exchange services, which translate to additional revenue streams for the Communication Service Provider - CSP (who is operating the MEC Platform).

Last but not least, third-party data solutions providers can offer (B2B2C) such data processes to the CSPs to enrich their services on their MEC Platforms, without the need for third-party providers to run as MEC Apps, but rather by just providing the data processing models/software. To showcase the benefits of data-driven collaboration across systems and actors, we employ a motivating example use case from the Autonomous Driving domain. We envision different scenarios for autonomous, connected vehicles on a highway, which are powered with advanced safety, traffic routing, and other features through the enactment of data service ecosystems.

For instance, we consider the ‘see-through’ case of a vehicle that intends to pass a truck and is temporarily provided access to a video stream of the car preceding that truck, which is equipped with a camera. Similar scenarios are applicable, such as the ‘platooning’ of vehicles that can drive in a coordinated manner as a group, sharing sensing information, or the exchange of safety or traffic alerts between vehicles on the highway.

COMPONENTS:

This Use Case proposes the extension of the ETSI MEC architecture, by introducing the “IDS- Connector-as-a-service”, instilled directly into the MEC mechanisms.

The prototype implementation of the proposed architecture includes the integration of the Dataspace Connector, implemented by Fraunhofer. In the introduced architecture, extending the MEC Architecture, each MEC Application (MEC App) can act as a data provider/consumer, in accordance with IDS roles distinction.

By introducing the concept of IDS Connector-as-a-Service among the functionalities provided by the MEC Platform, each application is capable of obtaining its own connector—which exists within the MEC Platform as a MEC Platform-offered service instance—and can exchange data with any application that has a registered connector inside or outside of the MEC host.

In the scenario of two MEC Applications exchanging data, we denote MEC App1 the application that attempts to receive data, and as MEC App2 the one that provides the desired data. After the completion of the instantiation of both applications and the assignment of a certified IDS connector to each of them, the connectors’ information is available through the MEC Platform’s relevant API for service discovery and availability. While data services that are not IDS enabled are registered directly on the MEC Platform, MEC App2 registers the data resources it provides on its own connector. In order to consume the desired data services, MEC App1 receives the information of MEC App2’s connector. Subsequently, MEC App1 performs a request to its own connector, encapsulating the information of the other connector, along with the identifiers of the targeted resources. Finally, if the usage policies attached to the contract of the requested resource are accepted, then data transfer from the provider to the consumer is followed as defined by IDS.

Green Deal Dataspace

Advaneo GmbH | IDSA

CHALLENGE:

The frequency of global crises such as pandemics, wars, and disasters has increased, and building shared solutions using data connections is crucial for dampening their effects and becoming more sustainable and resilient. The PAIRS and SPELL platforms are examples of prominent use cases that will be part of the Green Deal Dataspace.

The PAIRS platform, in particular, allows for transparency in the supply chain by identifying crises and their effects on individual participants. However, finding and using data in a sovereign way remains a core challenge. Interested parties need to know how to find services to become more resilient while ensuring data privacy and sovereignty. Additionally, creators of such services need to find initial partners to build the required networks.

SUCCESS:

The solution to the challenge of finding and using data in a sovereign way lies in using established and independently certifiable standards for data sharing, such as IDSA and GAIA-X.

These standards are integrated into a unified system that allows for offering, finding, and accessing relevant data sources and services related to resilience and sustainability. The IDS solution and its corresponding connectors are basic technologies that enable sovereign data exchange within the Green Deal Dataspace.

BENEFITS:

Companies and organizations as users of the Green Deal Dataspace benefit from our data-based approach to digital infrastructure to integrate decentralized information in a protected virtual space. With this infrastructure, users are either able to apply already implemented services or to develop new services supporting our users in order to gain new insights and knowledge.

The variety of data sources which are part of the Green Deal Dataspace also facilitates cross-over domain approaches for services as also will be implemented inside the PAIRS-Plattform. Especially the supply chain use case as a cross-over domain service utilizes the different data sources coming from different.

By additional search and finding functionalities inside the Green Deal Dataspace partners can connect to build research projects, exchange in a sovereign way data, and make use of the existing Dataspace infrastructure.

I4.0 data space and app marketplace for connected factories and service providers

Ikerlan

(1) i2CAT Foundation: technical partner responsible for the implementation and deployment of the IDS-compliant data space solution, App Store prototype, and integration of the data apps into the App Store. (2) CIM UPC Foundation: industry research partner with an experimental pilot factory floor with machinery and deployed IoT sensors where the collected data originates. (3) Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and their Motion Control and Industrial Applications (MCIA) and Advanced Control Systems (SAC) research groups: development of the data analytics and ML applications.

CHALLENGE:

The scenario brings up several challenges:

1. This data is susceptible, and timely, related to core production processes in the factory. Secure data transmission and agility are key, and traditional sharing methods are inadequate.

2. Factories must avoid lock-in situations to service providers, requiring interoperable approaches that allow them business flexibility in a competitive market of third-party services. This is equally important on the other side of the market, where SME service providers need an equal playing field for competing for that factory’s business.

3. New and developing regulations, such as the Data Governance Act and Data Act, change the market dynamics of data exploitation, requiring a scalable solution for data sharing that is built around core principles such as data sovereignty.

SUCCESS:

The i2CAT Foundation in Barcelona has implemented an IDS-compliant data space and marketplace prototype in the regional Industry 4.0 project, Looming Factory. It addresses those aforementioned challenges via the following:

1. A minimal viable data space (MVDS) approach that securely connects the project’s pilot factory floor machinery with developed predictive analytics services through a connector-based solution. The factory maintains strict usage control over its data, transmitted over a secure system.

2. An IDS App Store prototype implementation that allows those certified third-party providers’ services to be discovered by the factory and deployed in their secure, connector-based environment.

3. Third-party predictive analytics services for the marketplace proof of concept developed by Looming Factory project partners included predictive maintenance, operational cost estimation, production time cycles, and energy efficiency. These acted as demonstrators for the proposed solution for industry actors outside of the R&D project.

The Looming Factory project was co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union in the framework of the ERDF Operational Program for Catalonia 2014-2020.

BENEFITS:

Enabling secure, sovereign data sharing in an ecosystem of I4.0 data services: IDS-compliant trusted environment for data sharing for secure, controlled exchange of sensitive production data between factories and third-party service providers. The factory is connected to a potential ecosystem of third-party data services that optimize their production processes: higher efficiency and lower OpEx.

FutureForest

Freie Universität Berlin | Technische Universität München | M.O.S.S Computer Grafik Systeme GmbH

CHALLENGE:

Climate change makes the adaption of forests a very high-priority issue for forest owners and management companies. Without reliable data, it is very hard to make decisions in a fast-changing environment. Not acting will lead to economic and ecological losses. Traditionally, forest owners and practitioners rely little on data and have had no access to the data of others at all. This limits the discovery and adoption of best practices.

SUCCESS:

In our data space, forest research organizations, state forests, forest management companies and forest practitioners can access a common pool of relevant data, such as climate data, soil data, tree species distribution and tree health information, as well as in situ sensor data. It is well-defined who can access which data what for. As an example, the whole pool can be used to train AI models.

With this central, interoperable data pool, any new organization coming on board can quickly deploy state-of-the-art solutions to help in their decision-making, all the while retaining control over the data that they contribute.

BENEFITS:

Through the data space, risks related to climate change can be mitigated and revenue can be protected or enhanced, especially taking into account carbon capture and other incentiuves. Other ecosystem services can be enhanced, and as such, the value of the decision support given exceeds economic returns. The forestry data space also contributes to biodiversity and to the social and recreative functions of forests.

iGreenPort

CHALLENGE:

The quality of seawater is crucial to ensure the sustainability of ports. Coastal waters are deteriorating due to pollution and eutrophication, which is expected to increase by a further 20% by 2050. For this reason, the digitalization of port processes needs to consider the environmental perspective.

The combination of seawater quality data with information about ships characteristics and position is crucial for identifying the ships that could cause water pollution. iGreenPort addresses the real need of the Spanish Port of Palma de Mallorca to digitize the control of the seawater quality following the European Sea Ports Organization’s SDG 14 Environmental Code of Conduct, which instructs port administrations to develop tools to manage environmental problems.

SUCCESS:

iGreenPort is a cutting-edge initiative that provides port authorities and other port agents with environmental management capabilities. It offers a Data Space for sharing and accessing environmental and operational data, combining two types of data:

1) Seawater quality data, starting with turbidity among 15 indicators mandatory by law.
2) AIS data from ships, which provides information about the vessels every 3-6 seconds, including their characteristics and position. This data can be cross-referenced with the seawater quality data to determine their involvement in contaminated areas. The solution enables the authorities to make faster and more informed decisions that promote the efficiency and environmental sustainability of their ports.

BENEFITS:

Port Authorities are responsible for the prevention and control of marine pollution emergencies in their service area (Zone 1) and are investing in specialized surveillance to allow for rapid action in the event of pollution incidents. iGreenPort provides a cutting-edge tool for monitoring seawater quality in near real-time and identifying ships that could cause water pollution.

The ENES Data Space

Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) | Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL) | Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)

CHALLENGE:

The European Network for Earth System (ENES) modeling community was launched in 2001 comprising a network of about 50 groups including public, academic, and industrial partners who agreed to work together and cooperate to discuss strategies to accelerate progress in climate, Earth system modeling and understanding.

This community is a key player in the assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and provides the multi-model climate projections on which EU mitigation and adaptation policies are built.

The ENES community is facing new challenges as a result of the increased model complexity and the availability of emerging computing platforms. Moreover, new multi-disciplinary audiences need access to the ever-increasing volumes of data for addressing climate change societal challenges.

SUCCESS:
Data, services, and tools represent the three fundamental components of the ENES Data Space ecosystem. The data offering is at the core of the data space. However, it is important to remark that data alone would not be enough without a comprehensive ecosystem, including a wide set of tools and services enabling scientists to develop applications, analyze data, visualize results, reproduce analyses, share code, and publish new products. Through the seamless integration of these different aspects, the ENES Data Space aims to support challenging climate-related analyses and applications. IDS would play a key role in this allowing the ENES Data Space to adopt or be compliant with standards in the field, thus enabling increased data sharing based on trustworthy technology and interoperable formats.

BENEFITS:

The ENES Data Space aims to provide climate scientists with a complete ready-to-use research environment enabling them to perform scientific analysis on large climate datasets. Providing scientists with large ready-to-use datasets and software solutions closely integrated with the computing infrastructure can almost completely eliminate the setup time and dramatically increase productivity. Moreover, the possibility of easily reusing applications and sharing the research outputs represents a key aspect in the scientific analysis process towards Open Science and a more sustainable, effective, and FAIR use of data. Overall, the ENES Data Space can democratize climate data analysis by supporting new user groups and communities that do not currently have access to solutions capable of addressing such large-scale analysis.

Q

CADS - Carbon Agri Data Space

CHALLENGE:

One of the biggest challenges in agriculture today is the use of heterogeneous data for smart farming technologies, improving soil fertility, and food quality, and reducing the impact of agricultural technologies on climate change.

Today, numerous sources of data are collected and not leveraged as much as they could be. Potential applications are huge, such as decision-support tools taking into account not only scientific recommendations but also information about the experience of using various agricultural additives for specific climatic and environmental conditions. Carbon measurement and estimation are promising applications to improve the existing systems, but also to provide new value streams for farmers.

SUCCESS:

The idea is a service for the assessment of the carbon footprint of agricultural products in the process of growing as well as tools for sound adjustment of agro-technological, organizational, and management decisions by food producers. Thanks to a data-sharing ecosystem, we will provide the opportunity for farmers (through data service providers interacting with the decentralized data-sharing infrastructure), to leverage the use of the data they already produce, combined with other data sources such as external and open data.

It will provide them with tools that will help the farmers to come up with tangible proof of their carbon impact. Also, dedicated stakeholders of the ecosystem will find go-to-market opportunities for these proofs, bringing back value for the whole ecosystem.

BENEFITS:

Data sharing will demonstrate benefits for many participants – in optimizing existing products, valorizing bi-products, and making data space partners more attractive to downstream users in selecting new primary producers for new product lines within the carbon-negative economy. Also, some outputs of the data space are valued by the market, and this value will be distributed among contributors, according to a fair business model driven by the rising price per tonne of CO2-e in the market as EU-wide sequestration targets drive large-scale investors to increase the volume of carbon-negative market products becoming available at scale (including on-farm soil carbon sequestration and long-cycle productization).

Q

Increased visibility of order delivery process

VTT | Wärtsilä | Uwira

CHALLENGE:

The use case revolves around expediting and enhancing transparency between a focal company of a manufacturing ecosystem (OEM) and its supplier in their production order management processes. The existing communication methods have proven inadequate in facilitating efficient and adaptable exchanges between the two entities. By facilitating transparency and fostering a more seamless integration between the IT systems of both companies, the management of product orders can be streamlined, resulting in heightened efficiency and a reduction in errors.

SUCCESS:

The objective is to facilitate a reliable and seamless flow of data between the OEM and its supplier by establishing a dedicated data space. The developed solution will be seamlessly integrated with pre-existing IT infrastructures of both companies and the solution is grounded in the framework of the IDS reference architecture.

The OEM can selectively disclose data from their production environment to the supplier without the fear of data leakages. Respectively, the supplier receives only the data that are essential for them and there is no need to locally extract meaningful insights and valuable information from big data sets.

BENEFITS:

The established data space solution has the potential to significantly enhance transparency between the OEM and the supplier. This gives rise to several potential benefits, including:
Effective Communication: Transparent communication helps in conveying accurate information about product specifications, requirements, changes, and timelines.
Risk Management: Sharing information about potential risks, such as changes in demand or design modifications, allows suppliers to proactively address these issues. Furthermore, in times of disruptions, such as supply shortages or unexpected market shifts, transparent communication helps both parties respond more effectively.
Cost Efficiency: Transparent communication allows both parties to work together to find cost-effective solutions.

COMPONENTS:

IDS connectors - serve as the communication interface linking the two companies and their existing IT systems. With IDS connectors, a data provider can define the rules and conditions (usage policies) under which data are shared with a data consumer.
DAPS - enables connectors to authenticate themselves using X.509 certificates. After successful authentication, the DAPS issues OAuth2 access tokens for connectors, who need these tokens to access the services and data of other connectors.
Metadata Broker— stores information about the data end-points offered by the participants. The broker provides a query interface for connectors and can hence be considered as the search engine in this use case.

TRUSTEE - Trust and privacy preserving computing platform for cross-border federation of data

SUCCESS:

In a data-driven world, interdisciplinary and geographically dispersed data repositories naturally emerge. These repositories may not always adhere to established interdisciplinary data representation standards or participate in data federation initiatives. As a result, researchers often face limited access to valuable data, and maintaining integrity, privacy, and security during data exchanges can be exceptionally challenging, if not impossible.

The EU-funded TRUSTEE project aims to address these challenges by delivering a green, secure, trustworthy, and privacy-aware framework. This framework will aggregate data from multiple interdisciplinary repositories in sectors such as healthcare, education, energy, space, automotive, and cross-border domains. Additionally, TRUSTEE will integrate with other European data federation spaces and transnational initiatives, including IDS and Gaia-X.

This integration between the TRUSTEE framework and IDS/Gaia-X initiatives will create a synergy where additional data providers can participate, allowing IDS/Gaia-X data providers to leverage TRUSTEE's capabilities. Simultaneously, TRUSTEE users will gain access to the data hosted on e.g., IDS connectors, fostering collaboration and data sharing across domains.

COMPONENTS:

In the TRUSTEE framework, the IDS connector serves as the bridge connecting IDS data spaces to TRUSTEE, facilitating seamless data exchange between these entities. The dynamic attributes provisioning service (DAPS) enables connectors to authenticate themselves using X.509 certificates received from the Certificate Authority (CA). In TRUSTEE the metadata broker service can be utilized as an additional metadata repository enabling e.g., the TRUSTEE compatible IDS connector to discover data resources that other IDS connectors can offer for TRUSTEE platform users.
