IDSA lays out plan for iSHARE data-sharing scheme

March 25, 2019

The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) has laid out an action plan to include the Dutch government’s iSHARE data-sharing scheme to stimulate data-sharing.

By eeNews Europe

The International Data Spaces Association is an international peer-to-peer network that is dedicated to providing a trustworthy architecture for the data economy to ease the global exchange of data between data providers and data users. The network allows data providers stay in control of their data-sovereignty by setting restrictions and defining conditions for the use of the data, upon request even audit-proof.

The decision to include iSHARE data-sharing agreements into the IDS architecture allows IDSA to accelerate the deployment of a secure infrastructure. TNO is the IDS Hub in the Netherlands supporting sectors and organizations in building data-sharing ecosystems.

Both iSHARE and IDSA enable a network of trusted data, that is built on the following principles:

• Decentralized architecture: data is kept at the source

• Protection of trust: uniform onboarding requirements

• Sovereignty of data and services: data owners are in control

• Openness: anyone can join

• Secure data exchange: protecting data assets

• Governance collaborative rules: community in charge

• Scaling effects on network: adoption creates value for all

• Network of platforms and services: inclusive ecosystem

• Data providers can participate in the value of data
