Research Project
TRUE Connector: easing data sharing in Gaia-X
×
An open source International Data Spaces (IDS) Connector which enables IDS ecosystems and Data Spaces ensuring data sovereignty.
Where: international
Where: international
Challenge
An IDS Ecosystem needs to leverage existing standards and technologies, as well as governance models, well-accepted in the data economy, to facilitate secure and standardized data exchange and data linkage in a trusted business ecosystem. The IDS Connector is essential for implementing data sovereignty principles in GAIA-X, connecting it to data platforms, and facilitating the integration.
Approach
As a part of the FIWARE Catalogue, the TRUE (TRUsted Engineering) Connector is one of the key components for implementing a FIWARE-based Data Space, it will be improved in order to integrate existing FIWARE Ecosystems in a plug-and-play mode enabling the creation and support of IDS ecosystems.

Solution
Digital Ecosystem
The TRUE Connector is compliant with the latest IDS specifications (i.e., IDS Info Model 4) and can be easily customized to fit a widespread number of scenarios thanks to the internal separation of the Execution Core Container and the Data App.
It can be integrated with many existing IDS services (Identity Providers, Clearing House, Metadata Broker, etc.) and it is fully configurable in terms of internal/external data format (multipart/mixed, multipart/form, http-header) and protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, Web Socket over HTTPS, IDSCPv2). It includes the Usage Control Data APP to enforce the usage rules and a basic Data App that can be customized to satisfy both processing and integration needs.
Results
Aligned to the IDS state-of-the-art
Easily configurable and integrable
Ready to be exploited in GAIA-X
