WP3 – Identification of Common and Specific Building Blocks
Andreas Eisenrauch, May 25th, 2023

2. CONFIDENTIAL & RESTRICTED
This project has received funding from the Digital Europe Programme under grant agreement n°101083655.
Our approach
Inventory of
existing data
ecosystems
(WP2)
Gaps and
overlaps in data
sources (WP3)
Building
blocks (WP3)
• Survey covering
inventoried and further
emerging ecosystems
• Interviews
• Expert workshops
• Broader feedback and
requirements through
stakeholder dialogues
• Focus on Sector Specific
features

What is a Building Block?
A basic unit or component that can be
implemented and combined with other building
blocks to achieve the functionality of a data
space.
https://dssc.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/DSSC-Data-Spaces-Glossary-v1.0.pdf
A Building Block is an open and reusable digital
solution. It can take the shape of a framework,
a standard, a software, or a software as a
service (SaaS), or any combination thereof.

WP3 Task 3.4 - Building Blocks – Interoperability
T3.4 Identify common building blocks
Analyse, Specify, Identify, and Propose (technical and organizational)
building blocks, using published information and models, as well
as responses from the questionnaires (March – June)
Group interoperability: Ontologies, Semantics, Data
Models, Components descriptions, Data Exchange Protocols,
Tech standards (?)​, Workflows (?)
FhG, TNO, VTT, USI
• Many individual data sharing concepts exist
• Broad variety of sector specific vocabularies/semantics (Transport modes!)
• Consolidation/Standardisation is required
• Technical base of interoperability seems to be a minor problem
• Blueprint by DSSC should prescribe the generic standards

building blocks, using published information and models, as well
as responses from the questionnaires (March – June)
•Group Trust: Identity Management, Access and Usage policies
(and tech), Security, Privacy Enhancing Technologies,
VTT, TNO, FhG, iSHARE
• Advanced Trust ensuring Features
available
• No sector specific functions expected

analysis) which need to be considered when designing the
governance framework:
• Public private mix (including public procurement)
• Potential for identification (handling personal data)
• Mode-specific regulation
• Safety critical nature
• Network industries characteristics
• Environmental impact (Green Deal)
