Three paths, each broken into bite-sized chapters. Pick the one that matches your role.
Platform Setup
For Cloud Service ProvidersDeploy an EDCaaS platform. Set up EDC, the Connector Fabric Manager, provision participants, and hand customers the endpoints they need to operate.
- Deploy EDC & CFM
- Provision participants
- Customer handoff
System Integration
For Solution EngineersConnect customers to a dataspace. Publish data, consume data from other participants, work with the Management API, and deploy data planes.
- Publish & consume data
- Management API
- Data plane deployment
Use Case: Product Info Sharing
For EveryoneFollow five manufacturing companies as they share product documents through a dataspace — no custom integrations, no portals, just a shared protocol.
- Real-world scenario
- Step-by-step narrative
- 12 chapters
Why Now?
The window is open. Organizations that move now will shape how data flows in their industries.
The Data Act Mandates Interoperability
European regulation requires data sharing by 2027. Dataspaces are the architecture designed to meet these requirements.
Industry Ecosystems Are Going Live
Catena-X, Manufacturing-X, DECADE-X—production dataspaces are no longer pilots. They're operational.
Open Standards Are Maturing
DSP, DCP, and ISO 20151 provide a stable foundation. Build on proven protocols, not proprietary APIs.
