5GAA Statement of Intent: How Industry Should Approach the Subject of Dataspaces

The rapid digitalisation of the automotive and mobility sectors has made the way we think about “data” increasingly important. Around the world, governments, industry consortia, and technology providers are developing frameworks known as “dataspaces” to manage and

share data across sectors. Yet, for connected vehicles and intelligent transport systems, data alone is not enough: what matters is transforming raw data into meaningful, contextualised information that can be delivered where and when it is needed.

In the following paper, 5GAA aims to clarify the preferred conceptual approach that the automotive industry would like to take when it comes to dataspaces and their evolution toward “Information Networks”. More specifically, this short paper will detail the language that should be used, the different types of operations and the impact that these have,

including best practices, as well as the commonalities and regional differences.

These discussions are not new within 5GAA, and the scope of this paper is global and does not prioritise any one region or country, but instead is designed to provide 5GAA and its members with a clear message that can be easily communicated to the relevant international organisations, ministries, regulators, and policymakers from across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
