== BDVA Strategic Agenda 2024 ==
[https://bdva.eu/docs/bdva-strategic-agenda-2024/ BDVA’s 2024 agenda] is a '''practical playbook''' to scale '''European data-driven ecosystems''': federated '''data spaces''', '''interoperability by design''', a secure '''computing continuum''', and '''green data/AI''' operations, framed by compliance and ethics. It connects policy, standards, infrastructures ([https://dssc.eu/ DSSC]/[https://simpl-programme.ec.europa.eu/ SIMPL], [https://www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/ai-factories_en EuroHPC/AI Factories], [https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/edihs European Digital Innovation Hubs]/[https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/testing-and-experimentation-facilities Testing and Experimentation Facilities]), and community tooling ([https://bdva.eu/task-forces/i-spaces/ i-Spaces], TFs) to move from pilots to sustainable value chains.  

For '''OPENVERSE''', [https://bdva.eu/ BDVA] is the '''data & trust spine''': a venue to codify '''virtual-asset data products''', federate '''cross-sector data spaces''' for virtual-world use cases, and operationalise '''compliance-by-design''' ([https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1689/oj/eng Artificial Intelligence Act]/[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/2854/oj/eng Data Act]) with '''[[wikipedia:Privacy-enhancing_technologies|PETs]]''' and provenance/watermarking.

=== Alignment with Virtual Worlds ===

'''Relevance to Virtual Worlds Domains:'''
* '''Data Spaces + Interop backbone:''' BDVA focuses on '''federation across sectors''' and semantic/legal/governance interoperability—core to virtual-world data exchange and portability.  
* '''Trust & Compliance:''' PETs, automated compliance, policy enforcement, watermarking and content provenance—key for safe, resilient immersive ecosystems.  
* '''Computing Continuum:''' orchestration across '''edge/cloud/HPC''' supports real-time XR, digital twins, and agentic systems.  
* '''Sustainability:''' Green KPIs for data/AI align with responsible virtual-world operations.  
'''Potential Collaboration Levers:'''
# Co-lead a '''data-product''' and '''provenance/lineage''' task with BDVA TFs (link to virtual-world asset portability & rights).  
# Pilot '''inter-data-space federation''' (e.g., media+culture ↔ tourism ↔ smart cities) with OPENVERSE use cases; leverage DSSC blueprint & SIMPL.  
# Contribute '''compliance-by-design kits''' ([https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1689/oj AI Act]/[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/2854 Data Act]/[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/868/oj Data Governance Act]) tailored to XR/virtual worlds (policy templates, PETs recipes, watermarking).  
# Bridge '''[https://www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/ai-factories_en EuroHPC AI Factories] ↔ [https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/data-spaces data spaces]''' for GenAI-powered [[wikipedia:Spatial_computing|spatial computing]] experiments.
