contents Data spaces are evolving rapidly. In Europe, the concept of data spaces, which emphasises the importance of trust, sovereignty, and interoperability, is being implemented as a platform such as Catena-X. Meanwhile, Japan has been developing its approach to data sharing, in line with global trends but also to address unique domestic challenges, resulting a platform such as DATA-EX. Achieving interoperability between European and Japanese data spaces remains a critical challenge due to the differences created by these parallel advances. Although interoperability between data spaces has several aspects, compatibility of trust in the participating entities and the data exchanged is a significant aspect due to its influence on business. This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of DATA-EX and Catena-X while focusing on aspect of trust, to explore the challenges and opportunities for achieving interoperability between Japanese and European data spaces. By examining common data exchange processes, key objects such as datasets, and specific evaluation criteria, the study identifies gaps, challenges, and proposes actionable solutions such as inter-exchangeable topology. Through this analysis, the paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on global data interoperability.
