Target group: Targeted workshop participants are researchers, decision 
makers, and practitioners working on the specification and 
implementation of data spaces, in the field of industry, personal 
related data, as well as research data, and open data.

The continuously increasing number of data spaces and data markets in 
Europe, as well as the related funding lines and regulations by the 
European Commission (for instance the Data Governance Act and several 
programme lines in *Horizon Europe 
<https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/funding/funding-opportunities/funding-programmes-and-open-calls/horizon-europe_en>* 
and *Digital Europe 
<https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/activities/digital-programme>*) 
regarding the topics of (secure) data sharing of industrial and personal 
related data as well as research data clearly shows the *increasing 
need* to discuss, specify and realise (semantic) *data interoperability 
between such data spaces and beyond*.

A discussion about (semantic data) interoperability for data spaces 
includes (i) data space use cases, (ii) requirements for 
interoperability, (iii) existing and new standards in the field and (iv) 
technical solutions in place and in development, (v) working and proven 
tools & technologies, as well as (vi) legal issues and licenses, besides 
other topics.

The assumption is that the concept of a data space as defined in *IDSA 
<https://internationaldataspaces.org/> *and *W3C 
<https://www.w3.org/>*‘s work on Linked data are complementary. IDSA is 
a big user of Linked data specifications and complements them with 
“connectors” to legacy systems. While W3C provides vocabularies like 
*ODRL <https://www.w3.org/TR/odrl-model/> *for constraints and 
provenance for data quality, an IDSA data space has a concrete instance 
of those vocabularies specifying what can be done in a data space, how 
data is shared and which limitations and obligations apply.

This *one-day workshop* brings together researchers, decision makers and 
practitioners in the field of the development and operation of European 
data spaces, data markets and other web-based data management systems 
that allow data sharing, trading and data collaboration, to *discuss 
requirements, standards, tools, licenses and more regarding (semantic 
data) interoperability in data spaces*.
