This is the final issue of the Data Connector Report. Over the past two years across 16 issues, we’ve explored the intricate world of connectors in data spaces. Our mission has been twofold: (1) to explain what data connectors are and why they are crucial in data spaces; (2) to shed light on the diverse array of connectors available, emphasizing their unique value propositions, adoption stories, and evolving features. A Retrospective The Data Connector Report has successfully fulfilled its purpose. From November 2022 to September 2024, our readers have gained insights into the latest developments, empowering informed decisions and driving innovation. The Dataspace Protocol: A crucial milestone A significant achievement in the data space community was reached in March 2024, with the release of the stable version of the Dataspace Protocol (DSP). This milestone represents a pivotal achievement within the data space community. The Dataspace Protocol serves as foundation for ensuring interoperability, bridging different systems, and unlocking the full potential of data sharing. As we approach the end of the year, the DSP is on track to become an international standard, marking an unprecedented achievement for the entire data space ecosystem. Testing Compatibility: The TCK Compliance with the Dataspace Protocol will be guaranteed by a Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK), currently in development as part of the Eclipse Dataspace Protocol specification project called Eclipse Dataspace TCK. The TCK includes test cases designed to validate compliance with the specification document. Connectors that successfully undergo TCK testing will demonstrate their adherence to the DSP, instilling confidence in users and promoting seamless integration. Looking ahead: the Data Space Connector Report As we bid farewell to the Data Connector Report, a new chapter awaits. Starting in November 2024, IDSA will introduce the Data Space Connector Report. This new edition will focus exclusively on connectors that support the Dataspace Protocol. It will serve as the authoritative resource – a single point of truth – for information about connectors for data spaces that support the Dataspace Protocol and have been successfully tested via the TCK. Published regularly by the IDSA, this new report will be essential reading for those following the evolution of data spaces technology and looking to participate in the data spaces journey.
