Data-driven applications using AI techniques are reshaping various industries such as manufacturing, tourism, and mobility. The European Strategy for Data has led to the development of Common European data spaces, yet the governance of the data life cycle in organizations has not kept up with the rapid technology evolution and remains largely manual. A systematic mechanism is needed to ingest, integrate, and process data, thus boosting the ability to develop new data-centric business models. In this context, Cyclops’ general objective is to provide interoperable, trustworthy, and secure automatic management, governance, and maintenance of the entire data life cycle for large-scale volumes of data generated in heterogeneous distributed sources to enable data sharing and exchange in data spaces.
