Description
The ability to exchange Data is becoming more important in many aspects of professional and social life - in research, mobility, health, energy, social media, and many more. Hence efforts are underway to develop reliable infrastructure for data spaces - in Europe, this includes common shared data spaces such as GAIA-X, the European Open Science Cloud, the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), just to name a few. But importantly they all have an essential feature in common: FAIR data principles, which provide common semantics to build interoperable shared data spaces.
