# Data Spaces Data spaces refer to collaborative environments that enable the secure exchange and integration of data among various organizations. These spaces provide a framework for interoperability, allowing participants to share data while maintaining control over their proprietary information. By establishing common standards and protocols, data spaces foster an ecosystem where data can be accessed and utilized in a mutually beneficial manner, promoting innovation and efficiency. For more information about recent data spaces research, please consult the following resources: * [WorldCat](https://search.worldcat.org/search?&offset=1&q=Recent+studies+about+data+and+data+governance+and+Data+Spaces) * [Consensus](https://consensus.app/results/?synthesize=off&copilot=off&q=Recent+studies+about+data+and+data+governance+and+Data+Spaces) * [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Recent+studies+about+data+and+data+governance+and+Data+Spaces) Our research team, partners, and the extended Network of the Datasphere have identified the following entities working at the intersection of data or data governance and data spaces. We recognize this is a dynamic field and would appreciate your help to [[contact our research team|improve]] this resource.
