Data has become a crucial resource in the digital economy, fostering initiatives for secure and sovereign data sharing frameworks such as Data Spaces. However, these distributed environments require fine-grained access control mechanisms that balance openness with sovereignty and security. This paper proposes an extension of the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) standard, the ODRL Data Spaces (ODS) profile, aimed at supporting authorization and complementing existing authentication mechanisms throughout the data lifecycle. Additionally, a policy execution engine is introduced to translate ODRL policies into executable formats, enabling effective enforcement. The approach is validated through a use case involving OpenFGA, demonstrating its applicability to relationship-based access control scenarios.
