This limits automation, interoperability, and scalability, particularly for research that spans multiple data holders.\nObjectivesThis paper examines these challenges through the Dutch social science data landscape and presents a framework for standardising access governance using machine-actionable access conditions, with the aim of bridging the gap between secure technical environments and scalable access governance.\nMethodsBuilding on the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL), we propose a library of reusable access condition templates and a Data Access Broker service. The framework was developed through iterative consultation with data holders in the Dutch SSH domain and draws on ongoing developments within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and related data sharing initiatives.\nResultsWe demonstrate that machine-actionable access conditions can operationalise legal and organisational oversight in a transparent, auditable, and interoperable way without replacing it. The proposed framework addresses key challenges identified in the Dutch context --- including fragmentation, administrative burden, and inconsistent decision-making --- and is applicable across European data infrastructures.\nConclusionsThe approach does not replace legal or organisational oversight, but operationalises it in a transparent, auditable, and interoperable way. While grounded in the Dutch context and the ODISSEI infrastructure, the challenges addressed are common across Europe. The paper presents a concrete implementation pathway supporting ongoing developments within EOSC and related data sharing initiatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.23889\/ijpds.v11i1.3454","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T12:54:37Z","timestamp":1789649677000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Standardizing Access to Sensitive Data with Machine-Actionable Access Conditions"],"prefix":"10.23889","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Lucas","family":"Van Der Meer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmad","family":"Hesam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jetze","family":"Touber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ricarda","family":"Braukmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deborah","family":"Thorpe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilie","family":"Kraaikamp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Emery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"9980","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]},"container-title":["International Journal of Population Data Science"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ijpds.org\/index.php\/ijpds\/article\/download\/3454\/8064","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/ijpds.org\/index.php\/ijpds\/article\/download\/3454\/8065","content-type":"text\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/ijpds.org\/index.php\/ijpds\/article\/download\/3454\/8064","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T12:54:38Z","timestamp":1789649678000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ijpds.org\/index.php\/ijpds\/article\/view\/3454"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,14]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.23889\/ijpds.v11i1.3454","relation":{},"ISSN":["2399-4908"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2399-4908","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]}}}
