# Introduction to the iSHARE Data Space Template

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** This page is currently being updated to align with the DSSC Blueprint 3.0 as well as the iSHARE Framework 3.0. An updated version will be published soon.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is primarily structured around the[ building blocks defined in the Data Spaces Blueprint 2.0 by the Data Spaces Support Centre](https://dssc.eu/space/BVE2/1071251457/Data+Spaces+Blueprint+v2.0+-+Home), which is based on the[ Open DEI project](https://design-principles-for-data-spaces.org/).

Building blocks are basic units or components that can be implemented and combined with other building blocks to achieve the functionality of a data space.
