JavaScript Object Notation

Glossary Page

JSON is a data format that is designed for exchanging data between systems. It is lightweight and can be easily read and written by humans, while also being easily parsed and generated by machines. JSON is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, specifically the Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition from December 1999. Although it is language independent, it follows conventions that are commonly used in programming languages like C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and others. These features make JSON an ideal format for exchanging data between different systems.

BMWE2025: From silos to ecosystems

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy’s conference “From Silos to Ecosystems – Creating Europe’s Digital Momentum” (Berlin, 5–6 Nov 2025) highlighted Europe’s unique opportunity to lead in industrial data ecosystems powered by dataspace technology.

Practical workshops showcased initiatives such as Manufacturing‑X, Industrial AI, and the IPCEI on Cloud Infrastructure and Services, while RoX demonstrated early prototypes for AI‑based robotics dataspaces. The event underscored that Europe’s digital momentum will hinge on scaling industrial ecosystems, anchoring them in local clusters, and expanding across supply chains to unlock new growth opportunities.
