This webinar provided an overview of European efforts to facilitate fair exchanges of data within secured and trusted 'soft' infrastructures that preserve data privacy and sovereignty. It explained Dataspace building blocks and concrete implementations of Dataspaces today. It also discussed the most interesting use cases for Media Dataspaces.
What if we could share media files and metadata with our production and distribution partners, relying on a trusted and distributed infrastructure? How could we better align our content offerings with end-user needs thanks to comprehensive usage data from other media companies? What would be the benefits of exposing and sharing our content and news in a controlled way and within a trusted environment? What if such an environment could also help to safeguard freedom of expression and help people assess the trustworthiness of content?
Dataspace are federated data ecosystems based on shared rules and policies. They make sure that data owners can stay in control of their data and the access rights that apply to it. Dataspaces should be interoperable, across domains and countries to ease the development of new opportunities and innovation.
There are plenty of mature technical solutions and standards that could be used to develop interoperable dataspaces. Business and governance models, legal framework and operational processes also need to be defined and implemented.
The European Commission actively promotes and finances the development of dataspaces in Europe, as part of its Strategy for Data. One of the projects in this space is Gaia-X. Meanwhile, media organizations could benefit from ways to pool together increasing sets of content, data and metadata to produce new products and bring better services to audiences in multiple languages.
