3 - Keynote – Prof. Boris Otto (Fraunhofer ISST)

Summary

Prof. Boris Otto delivered a keynote focused on the essential role of data spaces and trust-based data sharing as foundational elements in Europe’s digital and AI future. His main points included:

• Data sharing is not an end, but a mechanism to unlock value across ecosystems.
• Emphasized three principles: reuse, fairness (reciprocity), and trust.
• Trust must exist in both the participants and the data itself (quality, control, and rights).
• Data spaces are the enabling framework for trusted data sharing—built on interoperability, metadata, policies, and governance.
• Referenced CEN/CENELEC JTC 25, IDSA, Gaia-X, and ISO 20151 as standardization anchors.
• Positioned data spaces across a cloud-edge continuum, from hyperscalers to edge nodes.
• Highlighted the importance of basic data objects (e.g., product and organizational metadata) to enable a digital twin of the European market.
• Connected data spaces with Europe’s AI ambitions, especially the concept of AI Gigafactories and data labs, where trustful data sharing is a prerequisite for foundation models.

“Data is a treasure, but it only has value if used—and used fairly, transparently, and with trust.”
— Prof. Boris Otto

Full Transcript

Boris Otto · Keynote Speech · European Cloud Accelerator Technical Workshop · 4 June 2025

Introduction

It is a pleasure for me to take this opportunity and share some thoughts with you about data spaces and data sharing in the cloud. I want to cover three points:

1. Why data sharing is important and not an end in itself.
2. The role of data spaces as tools to share data while ensuring trust and sovereignty.
3. A vision of how cloud-based data spaces will evolve.

Data Sharing Rationale

The EU data strategy is built around principles that remain true today:

• Data is a strategic resource for competitiveness and sustainability.
• Data is only valuable if reused — value often arises later in the “data value chain.”
• There must be balance and reciprocity between data providers and consumers.
• Trust is fundamental and comes in two forms:
  • Trust between participants in a dynamic ecosystem.
  • Trust in the data itself — quality, rights, usage control.

Data Spaces

The Data Spaces Support Centre defines data spaces as interoperable frameworks with shared rules, standards, and governance to enable trusted data transactions.

A trusted data transaction includes:

1. Rights granted by the data rights holder
2. Metadata publication
3. Data discovery
4. Negotiation
5. Exchange
6. Use

Referenced standards and protocols:

• CEN/CENELEC JTC 25
• IDSA Data Space Protocol
• Decentralized Claims Protocol
• ISO 20151

The ecosystem includes:

• IDSA, Gaia-X, OPC UA, and EDWG for implementation and standardization
• Alignment across initiatives (e.g., IDSA and IDTA convergence)

Otto emphasized the importance of two basic data objects:

• Organization data (e.g., names, registrations, certificates)
• Product data (e.g., lifecycle, reusability, technical specs)

These objects underpin a digital twin of the European Single Market.

Edge-Cloud Continuum

Cloud is the backbone of the modern economy—and by extension, of data ecosystems. Otto envisions:

• A mix of large cloud platforms and many edge/cloud service providers
• Edge computing integrated into vehicles, production lines, etc.
• Cloud ecosystems, as discussed in Gaia-X, bridging this continuum

Fraunhofer’s research (e.g., Cognitive Internet Technologies) supports this infrastructure.

AI and Europe’s Future

Data spaces will be vital for Europe’s AI transformation:

• Foundation models need: models, skills, funding, infrastructure, and data
• Europe has these—but they’re distributed
• The concept of AI Gigafactories introduces data labs that prepare data for AI use
• Data sharing for AI requires trust and fairness — which data spaces enable

Closing

Prof. Otto closed by reiterating the importance of collective alignment and trust. Without it, data’s potential for innovation—especially in AI—cannot be fully realized.

“Thank you for your attention. Let’s continue building the infrastructure that makes trusted data sharing real.”

4 - Intro to Dataspaces

Intro to Dataspaces, General Data Sharing Scenarios, and Feedback Solicitation

Speaker: Eric Samson (Microsoft)

Eric Samson introduced foundational data space concepts, focusing on how trust mechanisms reduce risk when sharing data across organizational and technical boundaries.

Key Points

• Data value is created through sharing, but the risk increases as data leaves its origin.

• Data spaces reduce risk by building trust across three core layers:

  • Legal: Jurisdictional compliance
  • Economic: Billing, invoicing, marketplaces
  • Technical: Peer-to-peer architecture using open protocols and connectors

• Policies and claims enable participants to define usage constraints and verify identity.

• The Eclipse Dataspace Connector (EDC) is the open-source engine that underpins these architectures.

• Architectural principles include:

  • Decentralization
  • Interoperability
  • Multi-cloud support
  • No reliance on centralized data lakes

• Use cases supported:

  • Supply chain transparency
  • Sustainability reporting
  • Training for large language models (LLMs)

• Global momentum:

  • 80+ active projects in Spain
  • Over 100 initiatives in China

“Trust is the key enabler—built on policies, open protocols, and verifiable identity.”
— Eric Samson

5 - Industrial Data Sharing – Erich Barnstedt

📅 June 28, 2025 | 🕘 09:22

🔑 Key Takeaways

📘 Digital Product Passport (DPP)

• Data Model (e.g., OPC UA Modelling Language)
• Semantics (e.g., AAS Submodel Templates)

🤝 Standardization & Collaboration

• Industry aligned around:
  • OPC UA
  • Asset Administration Shell (AAS)
  • Eclipse Dataspace Connector (EDC)
• Microsoft contributed 6–8 million lines of open source code to these initiatives

🧪 Proof of Concept

• A DPP for paper was built
  • Highlighted difficulty in capturing carbon footprint data
  • Noted that 90% of emissions come from supply chains, not energy use

🏭 Small & Medium Manufacturer Opportunity

• SMEs often lack internal IT
• Opportunity for cloud providers and software vendors to support compliance

🧰 Smart Manufacturing Profile Designer

• Open-source tool by CESMII
• Enables DPP creation using 400+ templates
• Designed for users with minimal IT skills

☁️ Edge-to-Cloud Integration

• DPPs must function across cloud and edge
• EDC enables cross-platform, peer-to-peer, decentralized data sharing

🌐 IEC Standardization

• IEC TC65 forming a working group to:
  • Create international standards based on AAS, OPC UA, and EDC

💬 Quotes from the Session

“Open source and standards are two sides of the same coin.”

“You can’t build a product carbon footprint without carbon data from your entire supply chain.”

“Somebody with zero to weak IT skills should be able to use it — and that’s the challenge.”

This session illustrated how trusted, interoperable industrial data sharing—powered by open source, common standards, and Eclipse Data Space Components—is central to meeting Europe’s digital transformation and sustainability goals, while unlocking major opportunities for service and technology providers.

• Strong focus on commercial interoperability as well as technical integration

8 - Opiquad and Fulcrum

Fulcrum is an open-source, European initiative designed to transform the fragmented landscape of local cloud providers into a unified, federated “cloud continuum.”
It enables regional cloud and telecom providers to commercially trade compute, network, and higher-level services while maintaining sovereignty, interoperability, and compliance with emerging EU trust and data regulations.

🔧 How the Project is Organised

⚙️ Architectural Principles

• Open & Vendor-Neutral: All code released under Apache 2.0; governance decisions via ICE Foundation
• Federated & Edge-Ready: Each provider retains their PoPs; optimized for proximity and locality
• Wholesale-Only Model: Fulcrum is B2B only—never resells to end-users
• Built-in Compliance: Identity, policy, and audit hooks aligned with the EU Data Act and Cloud Regulation

💡 Why It Matters (and Where Opiquad Fits)

🚦 Current Status

• ✅ Fulcrum Core public release complete; Framework Lab evaluates tech before promotion to Core
• ✅ CEM MVP live with API onboarding, billing, and metering across multiple CSPs
• 🔜 2025–2026 Roadmap includes:
  • Multi-cloud policy propagation
  • Automated edge workload placement
  • Full alignment with EU Data Act and CISPE Code of Conduct

🧭 Take-away

Fulcrum is not another proprietary cloud — it’s the missing exchange layer that allows hundreds of European-scale and regional providers to operate as one hyperscale platform, while retaining control over their infrastructure, customer relationships, and compliance.

Opiquad plays a pivotal role in operationalizing this vision through contributions in:

• Open-source architecture hardening
• Industrial-grade policy enforcement
• EU-trusted data exchange

9 - Technical Deep Dive EDC

📅 June 30, 2025 | 🕖 07:41
Presenter: Jim Marino

Jim’s Component Walkthrough Summary

🔄 Two-Tier Architecture: Control Plane vs Industrial Data Plane

• Control Plane: Lightweight, policy-driven layer managing catalog, contract negotiation, and enforcement.
• Data Plane: Handles big-data, file transfers, and streaming workloads.
• Can be split across clouds or run side-by-side, with DSP messages keeping both planes in sync.

🧱 Industrial Data-Plane Blueprint

• Reference stack combines:
  • On-prem ingest pipeline (OPC UA, AAS, edge filtering, blob/SQL storage)
  • Multi-tenant SaaS layer exposing assets over REST or AAS APIs
• Designed for connector-based transfer

🔐 DSP + DCP Protocols

• Dataspace Protocol (DSP): Orchestrates catalog → contract → transfer
• Decentralized Claims Protocol (DCP): Adds verifiable credentials so only trusted partners get access — no central identity provider required

🧪 Virtualised EDC Runtime (EDC-V)

• A virtualisation container enables:
  • Many tenants + many dataspaces
  • One EDC instance per environment
• Context loaded per request, with message queues ensuring scalability and elasticity

🚀 Efficiency Boost via State Machines

• Swaps inefficient polling (“tick-over”) for reliable message queues
• Enables horizontally-scalable connector functions and reduces CPU waste
• JVM overhead amortised across tenants

🧵 Connector Fabric Manager (CFM)

• Tenant & Ops Manager:
  • Tracks tenants, memberships, DIDs
  • Declarative “deployment definitions” for provisioning clusters
• Pluggable agents deploy or migrate clusters (e.g. Kubernetes cells)

⚙️ Built-in Workload Automation

• Tasks like startup, scale, failover, migration simplified to:
  • Copy config + route traffic
  • Infrastructure handled outside EDC using CFM provider plugins

🛡 Policy Engine Upgrade

• Dynamic CEL-based evaluator supports runtime rules per dataspace
  • e.g., apply different access rules for Catena-X vs. Manufacturing-X
• Enables multi-tenant, policy-isolated runtimes

🏛 Standards & Governance Alignment

• Built to align with:
  • ISO 20151, CEN JTC 25 Trusted Data Transactions
  • Eclipse Dataspace Working Group specs
• Supports procurement-ready governance and future-proof interoperability

🧪 Next Steps for Partners

• Help dogfood the virtualised build
• Contribute data-plane plugins
• Integrate CFM with your cloud
• Public Minimum Viable Dataspace repo and demo clusters are available

10 - Wrap up and Next Steps

Wrap-up and Next Steps

📅 June 30, 2025 | 🕖 07:43

🔍 High-Level Wrap-Up

✅ What We Set Out To Do

• Bring the dataspace and EU-cloud communities together to align on vision, terminology, and key pain points
• Validate the “dataspace-as-a-service” opportunity for European cloud providers
• Kick off concrete OSS workstreams that any provider can adopt and monetize
• Map the standards landscape to build once and interoperate everywhere

🛠 What We Achieved in Two Intense Days

• 27+ organizations (cloud providers, SIs, SMEs, standards bodies) aligned on:

  • Shared roadmaps
  • Demos and open-source assets
  • Common vocabulary (e.g., control plane ≠ data plane, multilevel policies)

• Confirmed market demand:

  • Catena-X, Manufacturing-X, iSHARE, OPC Foundation, etc.
  • Need for hosted, multi-tenant EDC offerings (1M+ potential SME tenants)

• Demos and deliverables:

  • Minimum Viable Dataspace
  • Industrial data plane
  • Multi-cloud deployment scripts
  • Roadmap agreed for:
    • Virtualised EDC (EDC-V)
    • Connector Fabric Manager
    • Industrial Data Plane
    • Management Portal (M1 release target: Oct 2025)

• Standards alignment:

  • Walk-throughs: ISO/IEC 20151, CEN JTC 25 “Trusted Data Transactions”, Eclipse DSP & DCP, OPC UA Cloud
  • Commitment to submit Eclipse specs as ISO PAS and contribute to CEN test kits

🧠 Key Takeaways

1. Trust is the currency
   Multilevel policies (membership → access → contract → usage) must be machine-verifiable across cloud and dataspace boundaries.

2. No single vendor wins alone
   Open standards and OSS reference code must be adopted collaboratively.

3. Small-company onboarding is the KPI
   “One-click tenant creation, zero-click upgrades” is the goal for EDC next-gen.

4. Standards now carry legal weight
   Q3 2025 Data-Act standardization request will bring conformance testing into the core feature set.

📝 Decisions & Immediate Actions

🧩 Medium-Term Workstreams (Open for Joiners)

1. Connector Fabric Manager
   Kubernetes operator + workflow engine to place tenants on federated EU clouds

2. Industrial Data Plane
   High-throughput data flows (OPC UA, AAS REST, bulk objects) with enforcement hooks

3. Management Portal
   Unified provider UI: onboarding wizard, SLA dashboard, usage-based billing

4. Compliance Toolkit
   Automated conformance tools for Data Act Article 33/36

📅 Next Gathering
