Project SummaryIn many B2B relationships there is a lot of data exchange between different domains, but the owner of said data might be very sensitive about sharing it. As such, an infrastructure or data ecosystem based on trust ensuring data sovereignty is necessary (the owner of the data can decide who gets access, how long, how often etc.).
 
The solution is an open source component, called a connector. A connector is an independent node within a network of connectors, which is then called a dataspace. One connector is linked to exactly one user and negotiates contracts and terms of agreements on data exchange, both as a consumer and as a provider. For this project, we used the Eclipse Dataspace Connector (EDC) for its popularity. Our team was able to extend the feature of the existing connector by implementing a user-friendly UI that could perform the necessary steps for a connector to exchange data with other connectors. In cooperation with our industry partner, we managed to deploy the project into the cloud with some demo samples.
