Dataspace Connector

Contact • Contribute • Issues • License • Wiki

The Dataspace Connector is an implementation of an IDS connector component following the IDS Reference Architecture Model. It integrates the IDS Information Model and uses the IDS Connector Framework for IDS functionalities and message handling. It provides a REST API for loading, updating, and deleting resources with local or remote data enriched by its metadata. The Dataspace Connector supports IDS conform message handling with other IDS connectors and IDS brokers and implements usage control for eight IDS usage policy patterns.

Quick Start

If you want to build and run locally, ensure that at least Java 11 is installed. Then, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Execute cd DataspaceConnector and ./mvnw clean package.
3. Navigate to /target and run java -jar dataspace-connector-{VERSION}.jar.
4. If everything worked fine, the connector is available at https://localhost:8080/. The API can be accessed at https://localhost:8080/admin/api.

For more details, see here. If you do not want to deploy the application yourself, have a look at how to use the test setups.

IDS Components

The ConfigManager and its GUI aim to facilitate the configuration of the Dataspace Connector and further IDS connector implementations. Both projects are also open source.
