Our scope of services
In the provision of data, both the producers and owners of data often find themselves exposed to the risk of losing control, thereby eliminating the strategic value of their data resources. This conflict of aims, which exists across industries, is addressed by International Data Spaces by making it possible for data providers to share data while maintaining data sovereignty.
Fraunhofer ISST develops technologies to ensure data sovereignty on the one hand and technologies to ensure standardized data exchange using the Dataspace Connector on the other. The Dataspace Connector is a software gateway to the International Data Spaces and thus allows participation in the corresponding data ecosystems. The technologies developed by Fraunhofer ISST are based on the “Reference Architecture Model” and the certification criteria from International Data Spaces e.V. and have been checked accordingly.
The International Data Spaces Standard and the technologies of Fraunhofer ISST support data sovereignty in various projects such as “GAIA-X”, the “Data Space Mobility” (DRM) and the “Data Competence Center Cities and Regions” (DKSR). In addition, the industrial concepts are transferred to everyday life by individuals so that citizens can also take part in the International Data Spaces in the future.
The range of services offered by Fraunhofer ISST includes application and concept development for the use of International Data Spaces, technical proof-of-concepts, support for implementation in productive use and joint open source development.
