What is ISO/IEC 23751 – Data Sharing Agreement framework about?

ISO/IEC 23751 is an International Standard that focuses on information technology and cloud computing and distributed platforms.

ISO/IEC 23751 provides the best framework for Data Sharing Agreement (DSA).

ISO/IEC 23751 establishes a set of building blocks, i.e. concepts, terms, and definitions, including Data Level Objectives (DLOs) and Data Qualitative Objectives (DQOs), that can be used to create Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs).

ISO/IEC 23751 is applicable to DSAs where the data is intended to be processed using one or more cloud services or other distributed platforms.

Who is ISO/IEC 23751 – Data Sharing Agreement framework for?

ISO/IEC 23751 on Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) framework is useful for:

• IT industries
• Data management companies
• Network and communication service providers
• IT engineers

Why should you use ISO/IEC 23751 – Data Sharing Agreement framework?

For decades, organizations regarded data and its processing as an expense, necessary to business operations but not an opportunity. What has changed recently is the realization of the value of data and the added value that can potentially be generated by combining datasets.

ISO/IEC 23751 talks about several technical, business, and regulatory challenges that arise while sharing datasets to create combined datasets. One challenge is the lack of a common language to describe data sharing concepts across the entire data lifecycle and the lack of guidance for developing data-sharing agreements (DSAs). ISO/IEC 23751 offers standardized terminology for data sharing along with common building blocks that can be used in the development of DSAs.

Thus, ISO/IEC 23751 aims to help the users, to reduce the time and cost required to initiate data-sharing projects.
