Use Cases and Trials
The Operator Data space (Athens, Greece)
As digitization reshapes the industry landscape, telecom and PayTV operators are facing major disruption to their value chains and business models. As innovation is sweeping across the industry, it pushes the telecom operators to tap valuable data. Telecom operators can use data-driven analytics models and create or use Data Spaces to gain valuable real-time insights and improve their network services, their performance and service quality, user segmentation and profiling, as well as personalize marketing initiatives and reduce churn rates.
The goal of this UC is to accelerate the telecom operator’s digital transformation and maintain effective revenue streams. Therefore, such operators are adopting a three-tier digital strategy, specifically, growing revenues from current services, growing strategic revenues and reducing costs.
The Energy Data space (Vienna, Austria)
Energy communities offer a means to restructure our energy systems by harnessing energy and allowing citizens to participate actively in the energy transition, and thereby enjoy greater benefits such as advancing energy efficiency and lowering electricity bills. Energy communities can greatly benefit from a data market strategy, where energy-related data, possibly real-time can be consistently described and searched by the different actors in the community, and where energy trade can be facilitated by security, privacy, and legal mechanisms.
Nevertheless, there is great potential in extending such communities to smart buildings and industries. This calls for data management tools that can deal with multiple data descriptions and provide tools for accessing and managing data quality, all while ensuring that privacy and security requirements are met. The holistic set of tools that will be developed in DataBri-X is specifically targeted towards these challenges, making them an enabler of a large-scale energy community data market. To demonstrate their potential, the DataBri-X consortium will develop and deploy the DataBri-X tools within an energy community use case, as part of the Aspern Smart City testbed (Vienna, Austria).
The Legal Data space (Huerth, Germany)
The development of legal expert solutions requires sophisticated domain knowledge, which needs to be available in a standardized and machine-readable format. In order to make such data and knowledge broadly available, we need a European Legal Data space. This will be the basis, both for researchers and for legal industry and legal professionals, as well as for every European citizen. Since their life is more and more dependent on legal services in a globalized environment, it needs to be based on ethical standards, legal compliance and unbiased data, which is a precondition for sustainability and scalability over time.
In addition to legal documents, the Data space will also contain legal knowledge like controlled vocabularies and a core legal knowledge graph. This is necessary in order to be able to create smart services and tools on top of legal documents and other sources. Since the knowledge graph is a core ingredient, this use case will specifically focus on its creation. On top, domain-specific tools and services will be made available via the community to process legal information and gain insights and provide further business value. UC3 will also implement new features based on the Data Spaces into planned and existing products and execute user tests to test the added value. This supports both evaluation and prepares for exploitation scenarios of the DataBri-X ToolBox.
