AD4GD Data Space

Enabling the trusted sharing of open and private environmental data for the effective implementation of the European Green Deal.
Explore the Data Space

The AD4GD Data Space addresses the urge of the cross-cutting nature of the European Green Deal for the creation of a digital environment that interconnects the available, but currently fragmented, data on biodiversity, pollution, climate and more in an interoperable and reliable manner. The AD4GD Data Space combines Eclipse Dataspace Connectors with standardized OGC APIs, using semantics as a common linkage and implementing the FAIR principles by design.

Demostrator of the AD4GD Data Space

The AD4GD Data Space consists of four main components that make up its functionality. Although the actual Data Space is not available for the general public, a demonstrator can be openly explored. 

Provider Dashboard

The provider dashboard allows registered users to realise the actions needed to share their own data.

Consumer Dashboard

The consumer dashboard is dedicated to collect and showcase the data shared by registered data space users.

File Storage

The file storage system saves the semantically enriched data to be shared among the actors of the AD4GD Data Space.

User Management

The user management system which permits the governance body to create, manage and delete users in the AD4GD Data Space.

Tested Implementations

In order to validate the development of the AD4GD Data Space, the AD4GD project allied with the FAIRiCUBE project to develop three nodes of a derived implementations that utilize the technology developed by AD4GD to display other environmental data through three different dashboards.

Rasmadan Dashboard

The Rasmadan dashboard is dedicated to collect and showcase the data shared by registered data space users.

NILU Dashboard

The NILU dashboard is dedicated to collect and showcase the data shared by registered data space users.

EOX Dashboard

The AD4GD Project

The AD4GD Data Space has been developed as part of the research done by the AD4GD project, funded under Horizon Europe, exploring the future deployment of the European Green Deal Data Space (GDDS).

AD4GD conducted research and implemented FAIR components for the GDDS. The project’s mission was to advance towards interoperability of Earth observation data through the OGC SensorThings API and semantic enrichment pipelines, enabling processing of machine learning data in the cloud to guarantee findable and securely accessible results using the data space protocol implemented in the Eclipse Dataspace Connector
