The Cyprus Organization for Standardization (CYS) is pleased to announce the establishment of a new European Standardisation Technical Committee on Data Solutions (TC DATA), under the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)  aiming at advancing data-driven technologies and supporting the development of new industry standards. The Scope of  ETSI Technical Committee TC Data is to develop technical specifications to support the deployment and operation of distributed infrastructures for data collection, data sharing and data management.

The distributed solutions considered by TC DATA include data infrastructures, data products, data access services, and application interfaces (APIs) in the ICT domain, to be used by machines and human beings, and their virtual representations. These solutions address the three dimensions of distributed data processing, i.e., Connectivity (data in transit), Storage (data at rest) and Compute (data in process).

ETSI TC Data intends to collaborate closely with the European Commission to develop standards in support of the EU Data Governance Act. The adoption of data access frameworks by the telecommunications industry is a step forward in enabling the next generation of automation-driven information exchanges.
