In its IHAN project, Sitra has developed a data economy rulebook that defines the models, guidelines and specifications how to build Dataspaces contractually and ethically. The rulebook describes organisations’ legal, business, technical, ethical and governance framework in the data sharing ecosystem.

Agreement templates and other tools make it easier to build and join new data networks that highlight transparency in data sharing.

There is a new version of Sitra's general purpose rulebook, available here. Virtual Finland’s testbed rulebook follows Sitra’s rulebook version 1.4.

As the founder and current operator of the Virtual Finland testbed, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs has set up a Constitutive Document which contains the key terms and conditions for the use of the Virtual Finland testbed.

Each party (spanning from application and data source providers to individual developers) willing to experiment on top of the Virtual Finland testbed must agree to the Accession agreement and its contents. It outlines the basic terms and conditions for the use of the testbed set up by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Familiarize with the accession agreement of the rulebook here.

Virtual Finland testbed rulebook also provides an example of co-creation agreement which data sharing ecosystems can use as a template to agree on the data sharing experimentation on a more detailed level if needed. You can familiarize with the co-creation agreement template here.
