Description about the presentation
In recent years, there has been growing discussion of data ecosystems and data spaces, primarily in the context of industry and government. The European Commission just announced (November 10, 2021) 410 Million Euros for actions supporting the deployment of common data spaces including sectoral data spaces and the supporting cloud-to-edge infrastructure and services. This webinar will explain what data spaces and data ecosystems are, how they relate to FAIR and open research data, and present scientific communities with a roadmap for participating in data spaces/ecosystems. The architectures and terminology of Gaia-X, International Data Spaces and FIWARE will be presented in comparison with common practices in research related to data exchange and sharing.
