Abstract

The value of data exchange is indubitably a thriving approach, however, it must be conducted in a safe and sovereign space, avoiding the loss of control, and data misusage. The International Data Spaces (IDS) is supposed to be a trusted environment, in which companies could share sensitive data upholding data sovereignty. Thus, mitigating the risk of losing industrial secrets and further threats to competition. Along with the mentioned two foundations of IDS, its architecture allows a free contract endorsement, on which, companies may negotiate their policies and governing laws. A service contract should be able to unambiguously represent all involved policies, leaving no breach for subjectivity. Another important aspect of IDS is to follow the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles. In particular, we focus on the Legal Interoperability. As one of the proposed interoperability layers (intended by the European Interoperability Framework), Legal Interoperability is proposed as the capability of companies from different countries (under different governing laws) to cooperate. This paper provides a research agenda and presents prior results of the proposed methodologies, addressing how to resolve legal interoperability issues before establishing IDS legal agreements. It takes a Design Science perspective for problem decomposition into specific issues, triangulation of research methods, and projection of a solution space.
