Deadline for paper submission: July 04, 2025 (11:59 pm, AoE)
The NeXt-generation Data Governance 2025 workshop aims to bring together technical, legal and societal researchers, and industry experts to discuss data governance, emergence of data spaces and the impact of the European strategy for data in such systems. The workshop aims to support the development of solutions to manage data, policies and provenance in a trustful and interoperable manner and to aid in the management and reporting of legal documentation falling from the EU’s GDPR for data protection and the DGA, Data Act, AI Act and EHDS to create legally-aligned, AI-powered data ecosystems, using semantic-based specifications such as ODRL, DPV or Solid.
As such, this workshop will have presentations and discussions of interest to both data providers and consumers, researchers, standardisation bodies, businesses, and citizens who want to interoperate in the Data Spaces era.
The workshop will accept two types of contributions: Full papers must be at least 8 and at most 16 pages of main content, with additional pages for references. Short/demo papers must be at least 5 and at most 7 pages of main content, with additional pages for references.
