Data Spaces & Sovereignty
Gaia-X
Gaia-X Trust Framework
A trust framework for European data infrastructure: self-descriptions of participants, services and resources as verifiable credentials, validated against machine-readable compliance rules by clearing houses.
The idea worth borrowing regardless of your view on the initiative is that jurisdiction, data location and applicable law become attributes of a service that a machine can check, not claims in a sales deck.
