Scope
In the ever-evolving landscape of data management, the concept of dataspaces has gained prominence. Dataspaces aim to unite pertinent data infrastructures and governance frameworks, fostering the facilitation of data pooling and sharing while overcoming data silos. This special session seeks to spotlight the transformative capabilities of blockchain in enhancing functionality, security, and collaboration within dataspaces. This session will serve as a platform for in-depth discussions and knowledge sharing by bringing together experts, practitioners, and enthusiasts.
Within the 6th International Congress on Blockchain and Applications, the proposed workshop aims to provide a focused exploration of the role of blockchain technology in shaping the future of dataspaces. Attendees will gain deep insights into the potential applications, challenges, and advancements in leveraging blockchain for efficient and secure data management within dataspaces.
