“…In such a case, the competent authority would act as a data intermediary between parties having rights to data and data reusers, thereby acting on behalf of the PSBs. 53 This raises the question whether a formalised data intermediary could support the governance of DPPs (on data intermediaries, see Janssen & Singh, 2022; on the role that data intermediaries, within the meaning of the Data Governance Act, could play in supporting data sharing obligations, see Ducuing et al, 2022; Nebbiai, 2022; Picht, 2022).…”

The circular economy (‘CE’) is a political goal to shift the economy towards a more circular and sustainable one. Data sharing shall close information gaps in the predominant economy and, hence, form the backbone of the transition to a CE. As part of the recent legislative proposals from the EC, “digital product passports” (‘DPPs’) are expected to constitute one-stop shops for such data and information delivery. The principal idea of DPPs is to provide product information to interested stakeholders within and outside the product value chain. However, many challenges arise with DPPs, in particular how to reconcile a broad (if no ‘open’) access to data while preserving the (legally protected) interests of certain actors, and the lack of trust concerning data use and quality between the actors. Our hypothesis are (i.) that such challenges are related to the absence of an appropriate (data) governance model for DPPs and (ii.) that data governance as a main concern within the data economy agenda could inform the regulation and operationalisation of DPPs. We analyse the – lack of - (data) governance of DPPs, both in the literature and in the recent legislative proposals from the EC. We find that data governance is significantly overlooked or considered only from a pure technological perspective (techno-solutionism), which is likely to jeopardise DPPs. As both a confirmation and a way forward, we establish connections to data governance as per the data economy agenda. In turn, the analysis of DPPs governance informs the general discussion on data governance.

Industrial data ecosystems are inter-organizational forms of cooperation emerging around sharing data. They arise from a digital infrastructure, giving data providers and data users a platform to share and (re-)use data. Data spaces are among the digital infrastructures frequently associated with data ecosystems, as they supply a shared digital space for its participants to share data in a sovereign way. Data spaces aim to close a gap in the digital infrastructure landscape, addressing concerns of organizations when sharing data, such as data misappropriation or a lack of control of shared data. They do this by implementing data sovereignty—typically through Usage Control Policies—that give data providers the means to formalize semantically and technically how data users are allowed to use their data. In this fundamentals article, we address the following issues: (1) contextualizing and demarcating data spaces and data ecosystems, (2) systematizing data spaces in the research and policy landscape, and (3) elaborating on a research agenda for Information Systems (IS) research.

Stuck in the middle with you: Conceptualizing data intermediaries and data intermediation services

Data intermediation services are a novel class of services mitigating various aspects of inter-organizational data sharing. Facilitating data intermediation services is a pivotal activity that leverages the benefits of the data economy. These services are usually provided by so-called data intermediaries, who organize data sharing between one or multiple data provider(s) and data consumer(s). Against the background of prominent legislation, these data intermediaries (e.g., data marketplaces or data trusts) receive increasing attention in research, practice, and politics. For instance, the Data Governance Act regulates data intermediation services, prompting organizations sharing data to comply with various regulations, including registration with government bodies or acquiring a trusted label. However, to date, little research has been done about the nature of data intermediation services, motivating us to tackle this issue in a two-fold strategy. First, we derive a visualization of a data intermediary and concept subsuming its potential functions. Second, we explore archetypical configurations of co-existing services of data intermediaries. With this, we contribute to understanding the data intermediaries as a concept and enrich this understanding with more detailed service configurations.
