Demostrating the value of data sharing to boost the agri-data economy

Aim of the project

The creation of a "Common European Agricultural Data Space" is one of the EC priorities for the agricultural sector, following the guidelines of the recent European Data Strategy, which aims to create a single market for data, where data can flow within the EU and across sectors, to the benefit of all. DIVINE aims to provide the necessary mechanisms to support three levels of interoperability: semantic (WP3), technical (WP2) and organisational (WP6). These mechanisms will build on existing solutions (e.g. see section "Related R&D activities") to establish an ecosystem of underlying Agricultural Data Spaces, making public and private data available to interested data consumers, but through a single gateway.
