I've updated and adapted the introduction to the rulebook to reflect the changes since the last publication.
There are still some gaps that need to be filled. I've opened issues for those and we can work on closing them over the next couple of days.

### The purpose and scope of the Rulebook
### The purpose and scope of the IDSA Rulebook

The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) aims to cultivate a vibrant practitioner community and to provide concrete guidance that enables the realization of data spaces across a range of capabilities and organisational models.

- Guidelines for the work and collaboration within data services.
To that end, IDSA develops the Data Space Requirements (the Rulebook), the Reference Architecture Models (RAMs), complementary implementation and operations guidance. IDSA also engages with international standardization bodies and open-source initiatives to harmonize and share the knowledge contributed by its members, thereby supporting the global adoption and interoperability of data space technologies and business models.

service providers will deliver on the shared value proposition of
generating business value from data.
The Rulebook describes how technical roles (for example, Participant and Data Space Governance Authority — DSGA) relate to economic and legal responsibilities, and how these roles may map to obligations under instruments such as the EU Data Governance Act and the EU Data Act. <span style="color: red;">insert link to the acts</span> <br /> <span style="color: red;">insert non-EU acts</span>
