13:30 - 15:00How does a data space work? - Technical background & demos
In this workshop, participants will gain a deep understanding of the technical implementation of a data space. We will explore the foundational concepts and provide a hands-on demonstration of a data space demonstrator. Using tools like Postman, attendees will learn how to interact with APIs, simulate data exchanges, and see how a data space operates in real-time. The session will also include the opportunity for participants to actively engage, test the demonstrator on their own, and dive deeper into the technical details of a data space setup. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in understanding the mechanics behind data spaces and gaining practical skills in this emerging area.
