BRIDGE ARTICLE · DATA SPACES & SOVEREIGNTY
Who owns the data spaces of AI?
Data spaces become governable through federated rights, verifiable policies, provenance and a tested exit rather than one central owner.

01 · SEPARATE RIGHTSOrigin, legal position, decision authority, control and value distribution remain distinct.
02 · FEDERATEData stays distributed while shared identities, catalogues and policies enable controlled use.
03 · TEST EXITPortability covers data, metadata, provenance, configuration and confirmed deletion.
DATA-SPACE CHARTER
INVENTORY → CLASSIFY → AUTHORISE → CATALOGUE → EXCHANGE → TRACE → ENFORCE → SETTLE → EXIT
Sovereignty comes from provable rights, enforceable limits and a genuine ability to switch.
Can every data product prove purpose, authority, controller, permitted use, provenance and exit?
