The document discusses the International Data Spaces (IDS) initiative, which aims to define an open standard architecture and framework for securely sharing industrial data between systems from different providers through "data sovereignty". The IDS proposes a reference architecture, interfaces, contractual framework, and sample code to connect different cloud platforms and devices. It has reached 350 members across 20 countries and released the 3.0 reference architecture model. The goal is to establish an open ecosystem for data sharing through further standardization, community engagement, and certification programs.

4. THE INTERNATIONAL DATA
SPACES APPROACH CONNECTS
ALL KINDS OF DATA ENDPOINTS
When broadening the perspective from an individual
use case scenario to a platform landscape view, the
INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES positions itself as an
architecture to link different cloud platforms through
secure exchange and trusted sharing of data, short:
through data sovereignty.
By proposing a specific software component, the INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES Connector, industrial data clouds can be
connected, as well as individual enterprise clouds and onpremise applications and individual connected devices.
