The Valle de la Lengua Data Space is an institutional initiative launched by the Foundation for the Transformation of La Rioja National Centre for Spanish-Language Industries (CNIE). The project creates a reliable framework for generating, sharing and adding value to linguistic data in Spanish, with common standards for governance, interoperability and quality that foster collaboration amongst stakeholders in the ecosystem and facilitate the responsible reuse of data.

The Data Space promotes technical and semantic interoperability through common standards that enable the exchange and reuse of linguistic data between different systems and sectors. This involves incorporating repositories of specialised terminology in Spanish, organised by subject areas such as medicine, engineering, law, education and public administration, which serve as a reference for the development of models, applications and digital solutions.

The Data Space facilitates the continuous training of voice models and linguistic artificial intelligence solutions in Spanish. Thanks to the incorporation of new validated data, it is possible to automatically update the systems, improve their accuracy and adapt them to different contexts, accents and language uses, ensuring the constant evolution of language- and voice-based technologies.

The San Millán Oral Corpus of Spanish drives the creation of high-quality linguistic resources to train Artificial Intelligence models capable of understanding the linguistic, cultural and normative diversity of Spanish. This approach helps to consolidate Spanish as a native language in AI, driving research, innovation, and the development of new digital services.

The Data Space drives the internationalisation of Spanish-speaking companies and organisations through linguistic and semantic resources that enable content and communication models to be adapted to the European context. Its connection to strategic initiatives such as GAIA-X and the European Data Strategy also fosters a European data market based on innovation, cooperation and the development of new digital services.
