Why personal data platforms are useful?

4. 1) Horizontal legal framework:
• Technical enablers and structures
• Clarification on usage rights (IoT, B2G, IPR)
• Consumer data portability
• More Open Data
• To be complemented by sector specific frameworks
2) High Impact project for common European data spaces
• Trusted storage and processing capacities
• Data sharing technologies preserving ‘data sovereignty’
• Roll out of sector specific data spaces
Elements of EU data strategy (continued)

5. European Data Framework
Rich pool of
available data
(open and
closed)
Free flow of
data across
sectors and
countries
Data

Personal data
platforms
High-value data sets from the public sector
e.g. weather,
geospatial,
statistics.
− Technical tools for data pooling and
sharing
−Standards & interoperability (technical,
semantic)
− Sectoral data governance (contracts,
licenses, access rights, usage rights)
− IT capacity, including cloud storage,
processing and services
