DSSC Blueprint 3.0

Europe’s shared blueprint for designing, governing and scaling interoperable data spaces.

Our claim statusMapped alignmentEvidence maintained per building block

Why it matters

A shared foundation for collaboration at scale.

A dataspace is more than a connector. The DSSC Blueprint brings the business, legal, governance and technical building blocks together in one shared frame, helping initiatives make compatible design choices and avoid isolated solutions.

Design governance and technology together

Define participant roles and shared services

Use reusable business and technical building blocks

Assess interoperability across the whole ecosystem

How we support and align

From standard to demonstrable design choices.

We deliberately distinguish architectural alignment, implementation and formal conformity.

01

Our architecture is mapped to the relevant DSSC business, organisational and technical building blocks.

02

Dataspace as a Service combines shared governance services, participant onboarding and connector capabilities.

03

Alignment evidence is maintained per building block rather than asserted as one blanket claim.

04

Mappings evolve with the Blueprint and the needs of each dataspace.
