EU Data Act · Chapter VIII · Interoperability
Article 33
Essential requirements regarding interoperability of data, of data sharing mechanisms and services, as well as of common European data spaces
Precise reading
Participants in data spaces must meet essential interoperability requirements: documented dataset content/structure/quality, machine-readable descriptions of rights and terms, technical access means (APIs), and harmonised standards may be developed to presume conformity.
A summary of the operative demand, not the statute.
Plain reading
Interoperability as a duty of description: data legible enough to travel.
Paraphrase.
