Data Spaces for Heterogeneous Data Ecosystems – Findings from a Design Study in the Cultural Sector

This study describes the design of a data space, which is a system that lets multiple organizations share and exchange data while protecting privacy and giving countries control over their data. The researchers created a data space for the cultural sector, where participants vary widely in size and technical skill, and they found that successful data spaces should be designed to make it easy for all types of organizations to join, regardless of their resources or technical expertise.
