CRMs Data Space Project is focused on…
providing National Authorities in Member States with a tool to comply with the requirements of the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) regarding information about critical raw material's potential in closed extractive waste facilities, and feeding the ecosystem with information from closed extractive coal waste facilities to exemplify assessing the critical raw materials recovery potential by multiple options.
Project aim
to start building a Common European Data Space on critical raw materials for the Green Deal, currently inexistent, which will allow data to be shared and made available in a trustworthy environment, creating multi-sided business solutions that leverage network effects, catering to both the “supply” and “demand” of data, and creating data-related services. This will attract users not only from the coal industry but from the mining industry in general, with the understanding that a large user base will, in turn, engage additional data resources and services.
Our approach
to develop the first data catalogue that leverages metadata and data management tools focused on CRMs, including characterising the different phenomena, attributes, relations, restrictions, controlled terms, multimedia, and general characteristics of the closed extractive waste facilities, and to ensure data exchange, integration, and analysis between CRM stakeholders by developing and deploying a data space platform aligned with the principles governing European data spaces, facilitating the creation of a Minimum Viable Data Space (MVDS).
