Second staff working document on data spaces

This second SWD provides an overview of the current status of the common European data spaces. First, it gives an update on the enabling EU legislative framework for data spaces. Since the publication of the first SWD, there have been some significant milestones – notably the entry into application of the Data Governance Act, adoption of the Data Act and adoption of the implementing act on high-value datasets.

This SWD presents the state of play of data-space related EU support actions, including sector- and domain-specific initiatives, the Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) and smart open-source middleware (Simpl), as well as relevant European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs) and ongoing work on standards and interoperability. Finally, for each sector- or domain-specific common European data space, this second SWD presents progress over the past two years as well as the upcoming key milestones.
