This presentation will introduce the audience to the basic concepts of the European Language Data Space (LDS) and explains how users can benefit from it. The goal of the European Language Data Space is to build a trustworthy and effective data market for the exchange of language resources in the private sector. It is designed as an ecosystem of organisations where participants who own language data and those who want to use language data, e. g. for model training, can share and monetise their data in a secure way and in full compliance with EU laws and regulations. The LDS is one of approx. 20 officially EU-mandated data spaces that are an inherent part of the European Data Strategy.
