MyDataSpace

What this project is

MyDataSpace integrates federated base connectors, an identity provider, an RDF catalog and a web layer to demonstrate a complete data-economy flow: from asset publishing to negotiation and final consumption through identity-based authorization.

The platform is designed for both technical and business teams that want to validate interoperability, governance and security patterns before moving to production-scale environments.

Use the authentication gateway to access the connector assigned to each user profile.

Demonstration objective

This environment is not only a visual showcase: it proves end-to-end that an organization can federate catalogs, enforce role-based access and operate a base connector set together with n dynamically created consumer connectors using a reproducible architecture.

Connector-based access journeys demonstrate how different profiles can authenticate in the same platform and land in different operation contexts while preserving a unified user experience.

Catalog

Federated data products available in the ecosystem. Negotiations are disabled in this view.

Reference architecture

Identity, catalog, and dynamic connector view split into Control Plane (negotiation/policies) and Data Plane (content transfer), including mediated download and direct URL blocking.

Institutional alignment and standards

MyDataSpace implements the standards and principles of data sovereignty defined by leading organizations in the data spaces ecosystem:

Design pillars

• Data sovereignty: Each participant maintains full control over his data and access policies
• Interoperability: Based on open standards from IDSA and Eclipse Foundation
• Federated trust: Centralized authentication (Keycloak) with role-based authorization (RBAC)
• Mediated security: Data transfers only through authenticated and authorized channels
• Operational traceability: Complete record of negotiations, contracts and accesses
