Observability in data spaces: analysis from IDSA (translated document)
October 06, 2025
DESCRIPCIÓN
The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) has published a new document titled “Observability in Data Spaces”, addressing a key aspect of trust and governance in data spaces: observability.
Aware of the relevance of this topic for our ecosystem, BAIDATA has translated the document into Spanish with the aim of making its content more accessible to our members and facilitating its understanding and practical application in the data space initiatives we develop.
The document examines the importance of observability as an essential component in the operation and governance of data spaces as defined by IDSA. Its main goal is to provide the foundational principles that enable organizations to assess their level of transparency, traceability, and control in data exchange.
Among its most significant contributions, the paper presents methodological tools that allow organizations to:
-
Measure their observability capabilities.
-
Visualize and compare results with other ecosystem participants.
-
Identify specific areas for improvement.
-
Implement best practices that strengthen interoperability, trust, and regulatory compliance.
In this way, the document serves as a reference guide for designing and implementing mechanisms that ensure data transactions are reliable, traceable, and compliant with current regulations.
Content and Use Cases
In “Observability in Data Spaces”, BAIDATA members will find a detailed description of the technical and regulatory requirements derived from the IDSA framework for implementing observability, both in centralized and decentralized architectures.
The document also analyzes practical use cases where observability plays a critical role, such as:
-
Notarial certification of contracts.
-
Continuous transaction auditing.
-
Supervision for billing and regulatory compliance.
It further explores the relationship between observability and other key concepts such as data provenance and traceability, emphasizing the need to establish governance processes and standards that reinforce trust among ecosystem participants.
