The Gaia-X project is developing the foundation for building a networked, open data infrastructure based on European values. The networking of decentralized infrastructure services will result in a data infrastructure that will be merged into a homogeneous, user-friendly system in which data can be made available and shared in a secure and trustworthy manner.
For the start of concrete Gaia-X operations, the central Gaia-X Federation Services are required in order to establish Gaia-X Ecosystems based on them and to enable the coordinated provisioning of Infrastructure Services, Interconnection Services and Dataspace Services.
The following core components are required for this:
- Identity & Trust
- Federated Catalogue
- Sovereign Data Exchange
- Compliance
In addition, there is an integration layer that provides access to the federation services and their interaction. It also provides exemplary methods for service orchestration and provides a requirements description for the respective service providers. The Federation Service Integration & Portal layer includes:
- Registration procedure
- Gaia-X Service UI and Workflow Engine
- Orchestration procedures (Infrastructure, Interconnection, Dataspaces)
- Interface services for external connections
Partner companies are now being selected for the technical implementation of Federation Services as part of a funded project. Find out more about how to apply soon.
