A key milestone for TEMS: the latest Data Space infrastructure is now available to project partners, opening the next phase of practical testing and validation.
The Trusted European Media Data Space (TEMS) has completed the implementation and delivery of the latest version of its Data Space infrastructure. With dedicated environments now available to the project’s Trials, TEMS is moving into its final validation phase, where the services will be tested in practical media-sector scenarios.
The new version brings key technical and governance components for trusted data sharing together in one connected experience. Organisations can join TEMS through a registration and approval process, establish their digital membership credentials and manage their participation through a dedicated interface. Clearer guidance and a consolidated participant guide support partners throughout the journey.
From sharing data to creating new opportunities
For media organisations providing data or services, TEMS offers tools to describe what they wish to share and establish the conditions under which these resources can be accessed and used.. These offerings can then be made discoverable through a shared European catalogue, helping other participants find relevant resources.
Organisations looking to use data can explore the catalogue, review the terms of an offering, negotiate access and, where applicable, arrange payment and initiate a transfer. The platform also provides a way to follow contracts, transfers and billing activity. Throughout this process, data providers retain control over the conditions under which their resources are made available.
The final focus now turns to the Trials
The next step is to validate these capabilities across the TEMS Trials. Trials will test the complete experience — from joining the Data Space and publishing offerings to discovering, negotiating and accessing them — and assess how well the services respond to real media-sector needs.
The Trials will also explore and test new business models enabled by data sharing across areas such as media content licensing and syndication, fact-checking, data-driven audience insights and analytics, privacy-preserving targeted advertising, and the commercialisation of audiovisual and digital assets. These activities will assess how media organisations can create new revenue opportunities, develop innovative services and establish new forms of collaboration through trusted data sharing.
Their feedback will help identify any remaining issues, evaluate the technical and business potential of the platform, and guide the final refinements.
This milestone brings TEMS closer to its ambition: a trusted and interoperable European environment where media organisations can discover, share and use data across borders, develop new business opportunities, and remain in control of their assets and the conditions governing their use.
