Join a Data Space

Info

CitCom.ai uses data spaces based on FIWARE technology.

The initial adoption of the FIWARE Data Space connector (DSC) within the CitCom.ai project is a strategic decision that aligns with the Data Space Business Alliance (DSBA) recommendations, ensuring a robust and interoperable framework for data exchange across Testing and Experimentation Facilities (TEFs). The FIWARE DSC is recognized for its compliance with open standards and ability to facilitate secure, efficient data sharing between diverse platforms and ecosystems.

To access to a data space, you mainly need:

  1. A digital certificate: To be able to identify yourself as an organization within the data space.

  2. A data space connector: To be able to communicate with the data space. Data Space Deployment.

Sign Up

Current sign up process

In general, it will be necessary to contact via email the managers of the data space so that they authorize our organization.

Depending on the configuration of the data space, the registration process may vary.

Currently, most commonly, you will need to contact the data space TA administrator for information on the type of certificate you need and how to provide it so that they can authorize you as an authorized entity in the data space.

In the future, this process will be automated, and you will be able to do it directly from the data space platform. Using the European digital identity, you will be able to register in the data space in a simple and secure way.

Data Space Connector

The Data Space Connector (DSC) is a software component that is responsible for managing the communication between the different elements of the data space. It oversees managing authentication, authorization, and data access control.

Fiware provides a reference implementation of the DSC, which is available in the Fiware GitHub repository

See the deployment instructions for more details.
