The actors involved in the data space are individuals and organisations (participants) who manage their information. We can find the following roles:
Data space promoter: This is the driving force behind the sharing and exploitation environment, and is therefore responsible for its governance and management. It is, therefore, the guarantor of community building around the data space, shaping different business models and seeking and attracting new participants.
Consumers of data sets and data services: who consume data products within the framework of rights and obligations defined by the data space promoter.
Data Providers and Service Providers: They offer data products (both data sets and services) within the framework of rights and obligations defined by the data space promoter
Data Intermediaries: Infrastructure providers that host core components such as the Catalogue, Contract, and Consent.
Technology provider: This party is responsible for integrating and operating the technical solution that enables the deployment of the data space infrastructure (commissioned under the governance and management of the promoter). This provider carries out the development, configuration, and parameterization needed to implement the technical solution that allows the data space to be deployed, essentially as a ready-to-use service.
