Dataspaces, which are critical to seamless and trusted data sharing, have gained prominence
in Europe with the European Data Governance Act (DGA). This legislation defines terms and
aims to increase trust, expand data availability, and promote common dataspaces. The impact
spans sectors such as data providers, researchers, businesses, and citizens. Initiatives like the
European Open Science Cloud and the adoption of the FAIR Data Principles further contribute
to the relevance of dataspaces. Efficient data sharing within dataspaces requires semantic
interoperability, for which the Semantic Web community has a long history of developing
RDF-based solutions.
The Semantic Web Dataspaces (SDS) 2024 workshop seeks to advance semantic methods and
solutions for dataspaces by encouraging collaboration between researchers and practitioners. It
aims to advance the expressiveness, standardization, and integration of semantic technologies
in dataspace architectures. The workshop promises interactive sessions, presentations, and
discussions to drive advances in semantics for dataspaces.

The Second International Workshop on Semantics in Dataspaces continues the success of its
previous edition [1, 2]. The workshop brings together people interested in dataspaces or the
role of semantics in them, from different communities such as dataspace drivers, legal and
policy makers, as well as the researchers from the Semantic Web community. Since members of
these different communities rarely have the opportunity to interact with each other, we design
the workshop to be highly interactive and communicative. This full-day workshop consists of
formal paper presentations with fruitful Q&A sessions, and an open discussion that allowed
participants to identify promising topics for collaboration and follow-up activities.
The topics of interest in this workshop are threefold: First, a conceptual perspective highlights
definitions of dataspaces, their core elements, and lifecycles. Participants examine formal models,
the impact and potential of unique identifiers, and conceptual reusable assets in general. Second,
state-of-the-art implementations in both academia and adoption are reviewed. This includes
comparisons of current dataspace efforts and analyses of their requirements, key drivers, and
common sustainable elements and standards. Last but not least, this workshop advances the
application of semantics for dataspaces. Participants evaluate the potential of semantic-based
methods and solutions for dataspaces, and discuss the tailored benefits of ontologies, unique
identifiers, algorithms, and concepts for a widespread dataspace adoption in the future.
With more than a dozen contributions, The Second International Workshop on Semantics in
Dataspaces presents many challenges, but also opportunities that will enhance the potential
of dataspaces and lead to future global solutions. The workshop organizers are excited to
strengthen the role of semantics for dataspaces and are confident that this workshop provides a
stimulating and engaging forum for researchers and practitioners working in this area.
In this workshop edition, 18 papers were submitted for peer review. Of these, 13 papers were
accepted for this volume, 8 as regular papers and 5 as short papers:
• FAIRness in Dataspaces: The Role of Semantics for Data Management [3]
• The Rights Delegation Proxy: An Approach for Delegations in the Solid Dataspace [4]
• Towards LLM-augmented Creation of Semantic Models for Dataspaces [5]
• Inter-Pod Credential Exchange Protocol via Linked Data Notifications [6]
• Selective disclosure of Digital Calibration Certificate in a quality infrastructure data
space [7]
• Adapting Ontology-based Data Access for Data Spaces [8]
• Linking of open and private data in dataspace: A case study of air quality monitoring and
forecasting [9]
• On the Governance of Semantic Artefacts in Dataspaces [10]
• Towards Enabling FAIR Dataspaces Using Large Language Models [11]
• Interoperable and Continuous Usage Control Enforcement in Dataspaces [12]
• DFDP: A Declarative Form Description Pipeline for Decentralizing Web Forms [13]
• Challenges and Opportunities for Enabling the Next Generation of Cross-Domain Datas-
paces [14]
• Semantic Data Link: Bridging Domain-Specific Needs with Universal and Interoperable
Semantic Models [15]
The SDS organizers would like to thank all authors for submitting their papers, the members
of the program committee for their thorough and detailed reviews, the presenters for their
exciting talks, and the numerous participants for the great discussions during the workshop.
In the open discussion session, the participants agreed to use the term dataspace in one word
instead of data space in the future. This emphasizes the role of dataspaces as a concept and
research area, rather than just a space with data, similar to how database was coined earlier.
During this discussion session, participants also agreed to form the W3C Dataspaces Community
Group 1 to strengthen the dataspaces community. We look forward to seeing everyone again at
a future SDS workshop.
