A Dataspace is an interplay between the various roles such as: * Data Provider: an entity providing data to the ecosystem. * Data Consumer: an entity consuming data from the ecosystem (sometimes called a Data User or Recipient). * Data Space Governance Authority: an entity governing the data space. * Service Provider: an entity providing services to the data space. In practice, an organisation can have multiple roles. For instance, it can be a Data Provider for one use case and a Data Consumer for another. There can also be further detailed roles, such as a Data Owner.
