FIWARE
Fiware is embarking on the development of different services that in combination meet the requirements defined for implementing a data space. For these developments they are following the DSBA Technical Convergence recomentations.
This is a technology that Fiware currently has in development, so it is open to major modifications. Currently, versions 2.x.x are the most advanced, achieving significant improvements in simplicity and ease of use at the local level compared to versions 1.x.x.
Legacy version (1.x.x)
Demo-Setup DSBA-compliant
As a first approximation of a future data space, Fiware developed a fairly complete example (Demo-Setup DSBA-compliant Dataspace), which tries to address the main blocks of a data space:
- Data Space Operator (Trust Anchor)
- Marketplace
- Data Space Connector (Provider or Consumer)
However, this example is a demo to show the feasibility of the technology, but it is far from being easily reusable in other real environments or putting it into production systems. Furthermore, it is designed to be deployed in Red Hat Openshift AWS, so the cost of maintaining it may be a limiting factor for a simple test of the technology.
Minimum Data Space
As an alternative to the previous Fiware example, a minimum data space architecture is proposed, which consists of:
- Trusted Participant/Issuers Registry (fulfilling the functions of Trust Anchor).
- FIWARE Data Space Connector (at least two).
This architecture is what we could call the Minimum Data Space.
