Data Sovereignity and Data Economy

Overview

The paper shows how data sovereignty and the data economy can be reconciled without sacrificing individuals’ control over their data for economic value creation. It takes a holistic perspective on data sovereignty, data economy, data rights and data ethics and identifies ten key areas of tension, including data processing, manipulation, mistrust, responsibility, anonymity and lock-in effects. Using the DaWID project as a practical context, the paper explores how data-driven value creation and sovereign data use can be combined in future data ecosystems.
