EDITORIAL

Dear IDSA members, dear readers,

a lot has happened since the summit in March.

We have specified our orientation and adjusted

our measures accordingly. Delivery of the first

prototype components of a secure, manufac-

turer-independent platform for secure data ex-

change is imminent. At the IoT Solutions World

Congress in Barcelona (16 – 18 October 2018),

we will present the first Minimum Viable Pro-

duct (MVP 1). MVP 2 will follow a few months

later. Very exciting.

By winning some EU projects, we have also

been able to expand the base of companies

and research institutions that support us in

further developing the IDS standard. This

gives us more input, more speed and reach,

and more attention – in Europe and beyond.

As we continue to gather momentum, I would

like to remind you that the energy of our

initiative largely comes from you, i.e. our mem-

bers: Your requirements, your participation in

working groups and task forces, your use cases

and implementations, your testimonials and,

last but not least, the way you advertise our

association provide the fuel we need for our

progress.

At the latest with the coming of the first usable

IDS components you can begin to develop your

own solutions in your company and to push

forward your digital transformation. Our asso-

ciation provides you with platforms, events and

tools that facilitate the exchange of experience

with like-minded people and thereby accelerate

your own developments.

DR. REINHOLD

ACHATZ,

CHAIRMAN OF THE

BOARD, THYS SEN-

KRUPP AG, IDSA© ThyssenKrupp

Benefit, challenge and encourage us.

It is above all your ideas, concepts and testi-

monials at congresses, conventions and trade

fairs that draw other companies’ attention to

the IDS and not only promote membership but

also active participation. The aim is to reach the

decision-maker level! Contact us if you are inte-

rested and let us know when you present the

IDSA at lectures.

By deploying IDS connectors and ecosystem

components you can support your associated

companies, business partners, suppliers, cus-

tomers and service providers in the develop-

ment and implementation of data-based, di-

gital business models and make them more

secure.

Which arguments and recommendations are of

more consequence and persuasive than those

from the users themselves? With the „Mem-

bers get members“ programme, we provide

you with a simple tool. Read more about it in

this edition.

With the Regional IDSA Hub Concept and the

recently established SME Alliance (Please find

more information on page 31) we are pro-

viding new, additional approaches for your

participation and therefore for the successful

further development of the International Data

Spaces Association.

“The success of the IDS is in the hands of its

members and users!”

With this in mind, enjoy reading this issue.

Yours,

Reinhold Achatz

BRIEF, CONCISE, INFORMATIVE: NEW ADVERTISING MEDIUM GETS TO THE HEART OF IDS CONTENTINFOGRAPHIC PRESENTS IDS AT A GLANCE

What is IDS? What are its goals? What is the

technical implementation like? How is valid

certification guaranteed? And what role does

the International Data Spaces Association play?

There are many questions about IDS as the

topic is very complex and multifaceted. The

most important answers are now summarised

in a new, clearly structured infographic. The IDS

concept can be communicated and explained

briefly, concisely and informatively in this way.

Around 150 copies of the infographic, which

can also be downloaded here, will be sent in a

poster format to the 93 member companies. “It

is the member companies who are often con-

fronted with questions about IDS and who ex-

plain our goals in many discussions at congres-

ses and trade fairs with business partners and

customers and present IDS and the Internatio-

nal Data Spaces Association,” says Lars Nagel,

NEWS

Managing Director of IDSA. The infographic is

intended to support this. Looking at the pos-

ter, it quickly becomes clear which mission

statement IDSA is pursuing, what exactly lies

behind use cases and communities and how

brokers, identity providers and connectors in-

teract within the trustworthy data architecture

for the data economy. “The infographic can be

showcased in the companies themselves but

also at large events to help answer the funda-

mental questions about IDS comprehensively

and quickly”, Nagel invites all member compa-

nies to use the infographic as an information

tool and advertising medium.

A call to action is not missing either: interested

parties are forwarded to the IDSA homepage

by QR code, can apply for membership and

even help design the International Data Spaces.

A TRUSTWORTHY ARCHITECTUREFOR THE DATA ECONOMYThe IDS provides self-determined control between all imaginable data endpoints

MISSION STATEMENT

USE CASES COMMUNITIES 10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT CERTIFICATION APPROACH

CALL TO ACTION

DIGITAL IDENTITIES

A network of trusted entities in the data economy requires a mechanism for digital entities, that can reliably identify a partic-ipant and can provide more infor-mation on transaction partners. Additional information must be updated regularly and be provid-ed in a trusted manner.

Services and functionalities of the IDS are spec-ified and validated in use cases.

The IDS approach is applied and tested in Pilots.

Additional requirements are fed into the architecture development.

Smart Services are devel-oped facilitating the Data Owner and Data Consum-ers to exploit the IDS.

Interest and user groups of same or similar domains with common challenges validate and proliferate the IDS ap-proach, technology and eco-system. Based on their prac-tical experience the IDS reference architecture and the eco-system around it are continuously developed. Thus, specific application scenarios for verticals are set up, im-plemented and systematically pushed forward, allowing participants to enhance existing or to launch new services.

Data ProviderData Providers give access to data under specific usage and price models. They are able to control the access to data and the usage of data at the Data Consumer.

Data ConsumerData Consumers can search for data and use the data of different data pro-viders. Data Consumers are bound to the usage policy of the Data Provider.

Data exchange or Software injectionConnector IDS Connectors provide standardized connectivity in the IDS Ecosystem. Con-nectors are responsible for connectiv-ity and Usage Control. They allow the execution of trusted apps in an isolat-ed Identity Provider environment.

Identity Provider Identity Providers offer a range of services to create, maintain, manage and validate identity information of and for IDS partici-pants, regardless under which of the above roles they consider to take part. Proven identity of all participants in the IDS rep-resent an essential imperative to the IDS architecture.

VocabularyVocabulary Providers manage and offer vocabularies (ontologies, reference data models, metadata elements) which can be used to annotate and describe datasets. Vocabulary Providers provide (domain spe-cific) vocabularies and their reference to the IDS Information Model, which is the basis for the description of data sources.

Clearing HouseIntermediary providing clearing and set-tlement services for all financial and data exchange transactions within the IDS.

BrokerIDS Connectors register the description of their data end-points at an IDS Broker.Thus, potential Data Consumers can look up available data sources and data in terms of their content, structure quality, actuality and other attributes.

App StoresApp Stores provide Data Apps, i.e. applica-tions that can be deployed in IDS Connec-tors to execute tasks like transformation, aggregation or analytics on the data. Data Apps may be certified by IDS-approved certification bodies. App Stores can be provided by IDS members and must, them-selves, be certified under IDS standards.

INFORMATIVE EXCURSION THROUGH THE IDSINTERACTIVE WEBINAR SEQUEL SUCCESSFULLY STARTED

INTRODUCING THE IDS HANDSHAKE

The first major goal of the IDS is to achieve

interoperability between connectors. With the

IDS Connecter Handshake we get the specifica-

tion for the steps required to establish a trus-

ted link between connectors, to describe and

register your data and negotiate contracts for

specific data exchange. The contracts describe

the technical part with both, data and interface

ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION

QUESTIONS FOR...FABIANA FOURNIER

Why do you become involved in the Inter-

national Data Spaces Association?

I’ve been working as a researcher at the IBM

Research Lab in Haifa, Israel since 2006. For

many years I was deep in the event-proces-

sing-world and more recently became enam-

oured with blockchain. Specifically, I work on

the Hyperledger Fabric, a blockchain project

under the Linux Foundation. IBM is one of

the frameworks main contributors, bringing

blockchain within reach for enterprises and

organizations. In the scope of my job, I joined

the BOOST EU project, which started in Janu-

ary 2017. One of our main tasks in BOOST is

to integrate between blockchain and IDS tech-

nologies for manufacturing. IBM made a stra-

tegic decision to join the IDSA as a formal mem-

ber and we are now working closely together.

What is so special about the International

Data Spaces Association and your coopera-

tion in the users association?

For me, working together with IDSA has been

an introduction to interesting projects and

offers new opportunities to work closely with

clients. By combining the IDS and blockchain

technologies, we can provide better solutions.

These two strategies are complementary and

will help deliver better value and added bene-

fits to clients.

The International Data Spaces Association

in ten years: What should have been

achieved together until then?

In ten years, organizations will be completely

digitalized and have a secure exchange of data.

We see the efforts of IDSA becoming a formal

standard that will help organizations, large and

small, to securely exchange data in economic

and business networks. From the IBM perspec-

tive, we foresee the standardization of the IBM

blockchain integration and its widespread use

as part of the overall IDS offering.

For the first time, the International Data Spaces

Association offers an interactive webinar se-

quel on the topic of the IDS Reference Architec-

ture Model 2.0, in which all spectra of the IDS

and the Reference Architecture are explained

in a simple and user-friendly manner.

“With this offer we would like to give our mem-

bers, our project partners in the research pro-

jects and all interested parties the possibility to

concentrate on dealing with the IDS approach

and the reference architecture model, and to

create the basis for successful integration of

IDS in data eco systems and future-oriented

business models,” explained Managing Direc-

tor Lars Nagel at the launch of the new webinar

series in early September. Up to and including

the beginning of November, leading experts

such as Prof. Dr. Boris Otto (Fraunhofer ISST),

Dr. Christoph Quix (Fraunhofer FIT), Lars Nagel

(IDSA) and Gerd Brost (Fraunhofer AISEC) take

the participants on an informative excursion

through the IDS.

The first three webinars on the “Context of

the IDS”, “Process Layer of the IDS” and “Data

Governance” have already run successfully. The

latest webinar is entitled “Trust in the IDS” and

will run on 2 November 2018 at 10 a.m.. Gerd

Brost, Senior Researcher Fraunhofer AISEC, will

give the participants a greater understanding

of this topic.

Join the live-webinar and you will have the

chance to ask questions or watch it on our You-

Tube channel afterwards. The webinar series

will be continued, further dates are planned.

descriptions, but the contracts also describe

the usage policies for this specific connection.

The Handshake for the Base Connector Profile

is now finished and the IDSA can get to work on

the Trusted Connector Handshake in detail. You

can pilot the IDS Connector Handshake in the

IDS Lab Sandbox.

EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL DATA SPACE IS BASED ON IDS ARCHITECTURE

“Joining forces towards a European Indus-

trial Data Space (EIDS)” is the mission stated for

BOOST 4.0. 50 partners from 16 EU countries

are working together in this EU research pro-

ject on the development and exemplary imple-

mentation of a common European Industrial

Data Space.

Currently, BOOST 4.0 is one of the largest re-

search projects in the EU with funding amoun-

ting to 20 million euros and private investment

of 100 million euros contributed by the parti-

cipating companies. IDSA plays a central role

in managing and implementing the project:

„The work on the work package aiming at the

development of EIDS will be managed by us,“

explains Christoph Mertens, Senior Consultant

& Innovation Manager EU Projects at IDSA. In

addition, the EIDS is based on the IDS architec-

ture.

“The architecture will be adapted and the EIDS

will be equipped with various applications,”

explains Mertens. “For this purpose, Big Data

applications will be made available to potential

users on the EIDS marketplace. Finally, an ex-

ample implementation will be carried out ac-

cording to a specific problem definition in ten

so-called pilot factories in participating compa-

nies.

ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION

ON TRACK FOR GROWTH: 100-MEMBER MARK FAST APPROACHING

The International Data Spaces Association

continues to grow, the 100-member mark is

getting closer and closer. Currently, there are

five new companies and institutions to support

the objectives of IDSA. Both the ENGENEERING

INGEGNERIA INFORMATICS SPA located in

Rome, Italy, and the Finnish company Signal

Solutions Nordic Oy will be contributing to

developing and establishing the IDS from now

on. Moreover, with IBM Deutschland GmbH

we see another well-known company joining

up and recently BetterSolutions S.A. based in

Gdansk, Poland, and bill-X GmbH, a German

software development company, became

members as well.

SOVEREIGN DATA EXCHANGE ON THE COGNITIVE INDUSTRIAL INTERNETTHE INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES AT THE IMTS

To remain in control over one‘s own data,

use data economically and cooperatively in a

trusted network, and thus creating new value

chains: this is what the International Data

Spaces initiative stands for, in which twelve

Fraunhofer Institutes, with close to 100 inter-

national partners from industry and science,

are working on a new standard for cross-com-

pany data exchange. The International Data

Spaces stage of development progress, the

advantages the standard can offer internatio-

nal companies, as well as the role the initiative

plays within the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excel-

lence Cognitive Internet Technologies, have

been demonstrated at the International Manu-

facturing Technology Show IMTS in Chicago

(September 10 - 15, 2018).

More and more often, service offerings made

by companies consist of a combination of a

physical product with corresponding digital

services, as a tailored solution to fit the indivi-

dual needs of any customer. To be able to offer

such “hybrid service bundles” companies are

increasingly joining forces, making it a neces-

sity to be able to exchange data sovereignly wi-

thin this cooperation. The work and efforts put

into the International Data Spaces initiative,

aim to establish a standard for data exchange

in such business ecosystems. The twelve Fraun-

hofer Institutes, that have been working on this

project since 2015, demonstrated its current

progress and its international applicability at

the IMTS 2018.

While, initially, the scientists work focused on

the development and prototypical realization

of a reference architecture model, it now lies

within a widespread, international coverage.

The declared objective of the International Data

Spaces Association is to elevate the utilization

of the International Data Spaces to a worldwide

basis. „Within global value chain networks, data

will not stop at national borders“, explains Prof.

Boris Otto, director of the research initiative In-

ternational Data Spaces at Fraunhofer. „This is

the reason why a solution for sovereign data

exchange is so sought after in so many places.

We are therefore always in close exchange with

related international initiatives, such as the In-

ternational Internet Consortium IIC, to identify

synergies and ensure interoperability between

architectural designs.“ Thus, companies parti-

cipating in the International Data Spaces will

benefit from this comprehensive network and

will also have the possibility to actively shape

further developments of the International Data

Spaces that perfectly fit to their own individual

requirements.

tor and with lectures on site.

OWN WEBSITES FOR MEDICAL DATA SPACE AND MATERIALS DATA SPACE

Medical Data Space (MedDS) and Materials Data Space are now also taking

shape on the Internet. From now on, both are present on the net with

their own websites: Fraunhofer Medical Data Space, a specialisation and

further development of Industrial Data Space for the health care and life

science sectors, has compiled its concept, goals and practical examples on

its homepage in a clear and informative way.

www.fit.fraunhofer.de/de/fb/life/medical-data-space.html

At www.fraunhofer-materials-data-space.de/, the Materials Data Space

provides an online insight into its work: it is the objective of Materials Data

Space to provide cross-company digital data on materials and engineering

materials along the entire value chain and to enable shorter develop-

ment times, learning manufacturing processes and new business models

through targeted networking.

Altogether, start-ups and companies, cities and

authorities as well as developers used the op-

portunity to get in contact with high-ranking

decision-makers at municipal, state and EU

level, to gain insights into open data solutions

and their implementation in companies and to

get to know successful practical examples.

“This open and personal exchange is very im-

portant for us in order to present the concept

of the IDS and its various application possibili-

ties and to promote the internationalisation of

IDSA at the same time”, emphasised Sebastian

Steinbuss, Lead Architect IDSA. The Internatio-

nal Data Spaces Association will also be back at

the FIWARE Tech Summit this autumn.

Release of IDS reference architecture

model version 2.0

“Data are enablers of innovation”, explained

Prof. Dr. Boris Otto, Director of Fraunhofer ISST

and Head of the IDS research project, on the

occasion of the Technology Briefing for “Data

Sovereignty in International Data Spaces“ at the

Fraunhofer booth. That is why companies want

to protect their data and - at the same time -

share them to generate added value. “This cre-

ates a paradoxon. The IDSA with its more than

90 members has set out to resolve this contra-

diction”, emphasised Otto in his presentation

in which he also officially presented the new

IDS reference architecture to the public and se-

veral official international representatives. The

90-page document is the result of joint work

between the Fraunhofer research project and

the International Data Spaces Association to-

gether with numerous member companies and

institutes. “The reference architecture forms a

reliable basis for establishing and implemen-

ting International Data Spaces”, explained Lars

Nagel, Managing Director of the International

Data Spaces Association, in the panel discus-

sion which followed. “This sets everything out

clearly and defines the guidelines. Now, we can

take the next steps in the direction of concrete

implementations and commercial products of

our member companies.“

Use case brochure published

11 use cases on the booth and the release of

a new use case brochure demonstrated how

these steps can look in practice at the IDSA

booth where the International Data Spaces

Association was joined by its strategic partner

FIWARE and the member companies Advaneo,

Dataahead, nicos AG, T-Systems and Salzgitter

AG. Numerous exhibits and personal discus-

sions made the exhibition visitors aware of how

International Data Spaces, for example, can be

used in IDSA and FIWARE’s joint use case for

“Predictive Fleet Maintenance“ in logistics, or

to ensure data sovereignty and security of the

Advaneo data marketplace. The new Use Case

brochure, which was published for the first

time at the Hannover Messe, also gives a clear

overview of the 14 current use cases.

IDS model receives award

Presentations underlined the importance of

IDS for trust and governance in the data eco-

nomy. More insights into the world of Inter-

national Data Spaces was given in the talk on

“Forum Industry 4.0 meets the industrial inter-

net”, presented by Lars Nagel and Ulrich Ahle,

CEO FIWARE and board member of IDSA, and

also at the Fraunhofer booth, where the “Inter-

national Data Space” section was awarded first

prize in the Fraunhofer Think Tank Award for

its strategic, target-group-oriented customer

approach and creative presentation. “Overall,

the Hannover Messe was a great success for

the International Data Spaces Association”,

Lars Nagel draws a positive conclusion. “The

decision was right to be presented with our

own booth and many member companies. The

booth was always well frequented, we had a

lot of discussions with interested visitors and

cooperation partners and were able to win

further companies and institutions for the idea

of International Data Spaces.”

START-UP CYBUS PILOTING “IDS-READY TESTING” CRITERIA

24 // // 25

DATA SPACES_NOW! DATA SPACES_NOW!

Everything that moves in the Industrial IoT, is based on production

data. Establishing simple, reliable and secure data connections between

machines and management is one of the targets of the International Data

Spaces Association and its members. One of the milestones on the way

to achieving this is the completion of the first criteria catalogue with IoT

solutions which has been developed by the IDSA Certification working

group. The Hamburg-based start-up Cybus was one of the first companies

to successfully submit its Connectware to this criteria piloting. In a next

step, the “Certification” working group will establish the IDS certification

scheme and start the official certification process for IDS participants and

components.

In order to verify the completeness, applicabil-

ity, feasibility and relevance of the catalogue of

certification criteria for the IDS participant cer-

tification, as well as the certification process for

participants, piloting workshops with various

IDSA members (e.g. GESIS, Komsa, Thyssen-

krupp) were conducted. The workshops were

organized by the WG Certification, bringing to-

gether experts in participant certification from

the Working Group with the security officer

and / or the compliance officer from the com-

panies. In addition to the audit readiness, this

validation gave valuable feedback for the list of

certification requirements and the associated

questionnaire.

These 1-day workshops led by the expert

from the Working Group were organized as a

health check. The certification expert explained

the certification process in detail. In a second

phase the audit readiness was evaluated by

going through the catalogue step by step. No

documented evidence was required, only ver-

bal information was collected. This approach

enabled all parties to get a better sense of the

status of the IDS-readiness for the participant,

as well as the significance of each criteria. The

results of the workshop were recorded by the

evaluation lead and distributed to the compa-

ny. The anonymized results were reported back

to the WG Certification.

In regard to the completeness and applicability

of the criteria themselves, the in-depth discus-

sion during the workshops in some cases led to

an adjustment of the wording of a criterion. In

ad- dition the feedback of the piloting led to a

new entry in the dimension matrix of Evalua-

tion Depth and the Extent of the Security Re-

quirements for participant certification (Mem-

ber Level, Management System).

USE CASE #01 ADVANEO

Advaneo advises and accompanies compa-

nies in the field of digital transformation.

One focal point for European railway com-

panies is on questions of standardisation

and digitisation in infrastructure technol-

ogy. This is all about guaranteeing the highest

possible data security to avoid data misuse.

Deutsche Bahn, for example, equips tens

of thousands of railway-track switches with

special sensors that provide the company

with important information about the con-

dition of the points drives and therefore en-

able predictive maintenance. These data are

also of great interest to other companies

so they could even be traded commercially.

In this application scenario, Advaneo serves as

a broker that arranges the secure exchange of

the respective data between provider and user

via IDS structures. On a virtual marketplace, the

“Advaneo Data marketplace”, comprehensive

metadata from different sources are available

on the supply side. Other users of the market-

place can purchase this information to gain the

latest insights or to develop new business models.

Data sovereignty has first priority in all proces-

ses: exchange is only possible via the secured

data space of IDS that safeguards the proces-

ses for the partners and simultaneously guar-

antees adherence to the distinct rules of the

game. All participants in the data exchange are

identified and certified thanks to IDS.

Targets:

+ To exchange critical data securely and

trade them in a non-discriminatory way

+ To guarantee data sovereignty

Partners/Ecosystem:

+ Railway infrastructure companies

• Signal construction company

Benefits:

+ Individual cloud-based data management

marketplace to access and share railway

switches

+ Enables railway suppliers to identify

existing data assets of shunting switches for

new value added

Main technology/IDS components:

+ Adavaneo–IDS broker connector

+ Broker repository and indexing

• Identity access management and clearing

house

FIRST STABLE RELEASE OF THE IDS INFORMATIONMODEL

The sub-working-group on the IDS informa-

tion model launched its first stable release in

September 2018. The information model is

the core of IDS and forms the basis for inter-

operability between connectors and for data

sovereignty. While the concepts of the model

are part of the reference architecture 2.0, the

group is now finalising the semantic model

and preparing the necessary libraries for your

connectors. You will find the semantic model

on github (www.github.com/IndustrialDa-

taSpace). You can contact the group easily, if

you join the weekly status call on Thursdays at

2pm CET or just connect on the IDSA Jive (www.

industrialdataspace.jiveon.com/community/

workinggroups/architecture/swg4-informati-

on-model).

SUMMER SCHOOL BRINGS TOGETHER IDS DEVELOPERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLDSUCCESSFUL PROJECT TO BE CONTINUED

The International Data Spaces Association invited the developer commu-

nity to a summer school of a different kind this year. From the beginning

of August to the beginning of September they focused on the develop-

ment of IDS components via Jive. Lots of relevant points were covered

during the summer school including IDS’s basic approach, an overview of

all existing libraries and source code repositories as well as certification

criteria.

“We invited developers to the summer school to provide them with all

the information they need to develop IDSA components,“ explains Sebas-

tian Steinbuß, Director Architecture and initiator of the summer school.

As part of the five-week initiative, the participants not only solved the

tasks at hand but also presented their experience with IDS concepts and

technologies, exchanged ideas and discussed results. Their efforts were

well-rewarded with a „cool“ prize: a box of 200 ice pops.

The summer school is a good mechanism to bring together the IDS con-

tributors who are spread out throughout Europe and the world and to

keep them informed about the latest developments. The summer school

will be held again as a good way to quickly introduce new members and

new developers to the IDS.

GROWTH TOOL REGIONAL IDS HUBSINITIATIVE LAUNCHED TO POSITION THE IDSA IN EUROPE AND BEYOND

Another tool for growth that focuses on exis-

ting industrial structures, associations and net-

works in the respective regions has come to

fruition in dialogue with the European partners

of the International Data Spaces Association:

the regional IDS hubs. Their aim is to make the

benefits of IDS for business model develop-

ments known in different countries and regions

and make them internationally available.

Starting out with an initial partner (“Initial Hub

Facilitator”) in a particular region, i.e. usually

in one country, a small team of institutions

and organisations is brought together that see

themselves collectively as the core of the region-

al hub to drive and set up the essential initia-

tives together. These “core hub members” run

or organise suitable events in the context of di-

gitisation, data-driven business models, Indus-

try 4.0 or similar topics, where IDS technology

and applications are discussed and promoted.

Requirements for designated members of a re-

gional IDS Hub are as follows:

• Excellent reputation in the region and the re-

levant segments

• Relevant background in developing or imple-

menting IT systems

• High potential to act as a catalyst for the dis-

semination of IDS in the region, to recruit

further IDS members and push IDS applica-

tions

• Sufficient capacity for a committed coopera-

tion with companies in the region, with the

IDS head office and with other regional IDS

hubs.

Jurisdiction and responsibility for invoicing

and collection of IDS membership fees as well

as basic member support and communication

shall remain with the IDS head office.

The Initial Hub Facilitator is the coordinating

body for recording and charging the regio-

nal expenses to the IDS Headquarters and

concludes a service agreement with the IDS

Headquarters for this purpose.

Currently, the International Data Spaces As-

sociation is specifically talking with several

countries about establishing the first regional

IDS hubs. All members and those interested

in IDS can look forward to the resulting poten-

tial with respect to the number and variety of

IDS application scenarios and to sharing their

experiences with the respective IDS member

companies.

PERSPECTIVES

MARKET PENETRATION BY THE “MEMBERS GET MEMBERS” INITIATIVE IDSA STARTS NEW INITIATIVE

“The success of IDSA is in the hands of its members and users!“ This

statement, made at their own summit in March, shows that the Inter-

national Data Spaces Association (IDSA) is already focused on engaging

its members in growth and application initiatives. One of the measures

discussed there is now being launched: “Members get members” is the

name of a campaign inviting IDSA members to directly attract potential

new members to the IDSA.

Ralf-Peter Simon, Director Strategy & Growth Support at the IDSA, is con-

vinced: “The advantages and achievements of the IDSA can be best com-

municated by those companies that are already taking a stand for its im-

plementation and are committed members of the IDSA”.

Every one of the more than 90 members across 17 countries can be-

come active within the framework of the initiative. “In doing so, we rely on

a combination of personal approach and convincing performance”, Ralf-

Peter Simon explains.

In addition to sponsors from the member companies, the milestones and

use cases within the International Data Spaces Association should speak

for membership and engagement. Ralf-Peter Simon points out: “Of course,

we do not only present our goals and various initiatives to potential mem-

bers but also share tangible results of our work with them.” It is therefore

planned to report even more consistently on progress in the development

and establishment of the IDSA and to foster the number of use cases. “We

are heading in the right direction”, Simon comments, “and we would like

to pursue this with many more new members.”

WHY DOES IDS TALK ABOUT BLOCKCHAIN?

Recently Blockchain and Distributed Ledger

Technologies are a relevant topic for all of us. Of

course the question for the IDSA and all mem-

bers of the IDSA is: How do Distributed Ledger

Technologies and IDS fit together? We already

realized that there are those Distributed Led-

ger Use Cases and the IDS Use Cases, but how

do generic Use Cases look like, which combine

both? The Working Group Architecture started

a new Sub-Working Group on IDS and Blok-

chain to answer this question. The Group is led

by Matthijs Punter (TNO). The members, e.g.

TNO, Fraunhofer, IBM, Bosch and Engineering,

are collaborating on the definition of true IDS

and Blockchain Use Cases. All of them do alrea-

dy work on this in different projects. This is the

foundation for a White Paper on IDS and Block-

chain. Everyone is invited to join the group on

Jive to bring in his knowledge and opinion. The

first Version of the White Paper will be published

at the end of 2018. The results will be part of

your next Reference Architecture Model 3.0,

which will be released in April 2019.

FOUR MORE EU RESEARCH PROJECTS BRING IDS APPROACH TO THE WORLD

The IDS concept has been part of national

and international research projects ever sin-

ce it began. These have now been extended

with four more EU research projects in highly

relevant research areas such as artificial in-

telligence and federated data marketplaces

where IDS will take on a central role and the

International Data Spaces Association is part

of the successful consortium. These research

projects will help to further develop the refer-

ence architecture and implement and estab-

lish the idea of IDS and bring it into the world:

Projekt Qu4lity: Autonomous Quality Plat-

form for Cognitive Zero-defect ManUfacturing

FOCUS ON SME REQUIREMENTSSME ALLIANCE WITHIN IDSA PRESENTS APPLICATION SCENARIOS AT IOT WORLD CONGRESS

In practice, new data-based business models

represent different challenges to small and

medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) than to lar-

ger companies: they usually suffer from having

more limited resources, IT capabilities and ca-

pacities, and a lack of business development

specialists, etc.. Their requirements for ease of

implementation and use and for relatively low

investment levels play a key role when consi-

dering investments in technology-based inno-

vation.

These specific requirements are addressed by

an initiative recently set up within the Interna-

tional Data Spaces Association. A number of

SMEs have started to develop IDS-based ser-

vices in a joint application environment which

allows them to test connectivity and interop-

erability in selected application scenarios and

to demonstrate how IDS connectors and IDS

roles, such as Data Provider, Data Broker, Data

User, Identity Provider interact. The results of

their work will be presented at the IoT Solu-

tions World Congress (16 – 18 October) in Bar-

celona, Spain.

The above initiative was kicked off under the

label of SME Alliance during an initial mee-

ting of a number of SME companies within the

IDSA in May. These partners decided in July to

push ahead and present the above-mentioned

scenarios early in Q4 2018 and chose the IoT

World Congress as the ideal event to step out

in public.

“The IoT World is a unique platform for the

IDSA and our SME Alliance members to pre-

sent practical application scenarios. Bringing

IDSA architecture and technology to life is a pi-

votal milestone for all of us”, explains Ralf-

Peter Simon, IDSA Director Strategy & Growth

Support.

LARGE TRADE FAIR APPEARANCE AT THE IOT SOLUTIONS WORLD CONGRESS IN BARCELONA

IDSA’s first appearance at the IoT Solutions

World Congress last autumn was a great suc-

cess. That is why the International Data Spaces

Association will once again be attending the

leading international IoT event in Barcelona in

2018, where they will present even more ap-

plication scenarios and practical examples of

IDS on an even larger stand area from 16 to 18

October.

90 square meters encompasses the booth that

IDSA repeatedly shares with Fiware Founda-

tion to present their IDS application scenarios.

Alongside these use-cases, implementing the

IDS-connector in production use-cases, the fo-

cus on this appearance is implementing further

components of the Reference Architecture.

Also Advaneo GmbH AG shows among others

their broker-solution and nicos AG besides

the IDS-compliant Industry-4.0-machine in the

form of the robot Wall-E, also the implemen-

tation of the Dynamic Attribute Provisioning

Services and the Identity Provider. Hence the

IDSA takes a further step towards the IOT-Com-

munity to solve important and so far unsolved

challenges related to trust, data use and inter-

operability in the Internet of Things and to de-

monstrate this implemented in practice.

for large software releases, business and dis-

ruptive technology will meet in Malaga, Spain,

to discuss and further their knowledge of the

adoption of de-facto standards of open source,

reusable components that implement common

APIs and interfaces for the portability and in-

teroperability of applications. Once again, the

IDS approach will be an important feature at

the 5th FIWARE Global Summit. After all, IDS

member and our strategic partner FIWARE can

implement and bring to life the IDS architec-

ture with ready-made open source software

components. This is also how use cases from

well-known international companies were cre-

ated and they will be presented at the Summit

as well.

This Summit will introduce a new track devo-

ted to Smart Energy and the Open Source for

Energy transition to create a sustainable energy

ecosystem. This key issue will complement the

already established tracks Smart Cities, Smart

Agrifood and Smart Industry and Tech.

Vision: IDS is a global

de facto market standard for the sovereign use of

data

As the perception of date value is gaining impor-tance in the global value creation, the IDS approach enables global dynamic data and business trans- actions between participants across all domains, sectors and industries without establishing a central infrastructure, thus peer-to-peer. As such, the IDS is capable of linking single objects up to entire plat-forms.

The IDS reference architecture forms the basis for data ecosystems and market places based on Euro-pean values, i. e. data privacy and security, and offers equal opportunities through a federated design. That is why the IDS Association has specified an architecture, interfaces and sample code for an open, secure data ecosystem made up of trusted partners.

Trust between participants and data-sovereignty are placed at the heart of the IDS: They will be guaranteed for data creators with respect to who is using their data, for how long, for which application, how many times and according to which terms & conditions.

The IDS ecosystem is vendor independent by design and will achieve and defend its status as de facto market standard for the trade and exchange of all kinds of data assets. Finding and authenticating appropriate transfer partners will be substantially facilitated, so will the legal and commercial govern-ance of transactions.

By permanently screening and adopting new developments and requirements, the International Data Spaces Association establishes itself as a sustainable building block for ecosystems to make the data economy come true.
