Open Data Spaces Introductory Guidebook for Developers

Introduction

"Open Data Spaces (ODS)" is an open and scalable foundation for distributed data, built on organizational and national diversity by design.

The general technical term "open dataspaces" as used in this document refers to a new-generation dataspace paradigm for distributed data management, designed with reference to the original dataspaces papers from the ACM Special Interest Group on Management of Data (Franklin et al., 2005; Halevy et al., 2006) and data mesh-related papers (Dehghani, 2019; Dehghani, 2022) as its core, and validated through research and development in collaboration with private companies and organizations at commercial-grade levels.

This document is intended for vendors and engineers who actually implement and deliver open dataspaces technologies, and aims to organize the foundational concepts and minimum configuration needed to begin initial development and operations, with reference to ODS.
