International Data Spaces Association (IDSA)

Germany

Overview

The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) is a coalition of more than 140 member companies that share a vision of a world where all companies self-determine usage rules and realize the full value of their data in secure, trusted, equal partnerships; and they are making that vision a reality.  

Their goal is nothing less than a global standard for international data spaces (IDS) and interfaces, as well as fostering the related technologies and business models that will drive the data economy of the future across industries.

The members of IDSA represent dozens of industry sectors based in 28 countries with more than 100 use cases across the European Union and around the world.

Responsibilities & Contribution

Within the VELES project, IDSA, as a major Data Spaces driving initiative at EU level, aims to contribute to the development of 4 excellent and sustainable Smart Health place-based innovation ecosystems presented in South-East Europe. 

To demonstrate the Regional Smart Health innovation potential, IDSA will accelerate and disseminate knowledge-sharing exchange and adoption of best practices for healthcare data exchange and usage across SE Europe.

The specifications and IDS-documentation will be delivered to the public via knowledge-sharing initiatives. This will include technical documentation and interface descriptions, access to the IDSA Open-Source projects such as IDS Information Model; IDS Certification Criteria in perspective of the IDS-RAM; IDS testbed for testing the component behaviour and interoperability testing with other components, etc.
