Data Spaces & Sovereignty
Dataspace Protocol
A protocol for sovereign data exchange: catalogue discovery, contract negotiation over ODRL usage policies, and a transfer process that hands off to whatever data plane the parties agree on.
It is the machinery that makes "data stays under the provider's terms" enforceable across organisational boundaries, and the reference protocol for EU data space implementations such as the Eclipse Dataspace Components.
