Connector: Technical access to the International Data Spaces ecosystem

The connector is software that is installed at the participating company or platform and thus provides technical access to the IDS ecosystem. The connector can be a monolithic or closed software or simply a combination of different existing software that follows the specifications of the Reference Architecture Model (RAM) and the International Data Spaces certification criteria based on it.

Open-Source-Java-Framework "NUKLEUS"

NUKLEUS is a framework for modeling domain models in Java. The central aspect of Nucleus is the separation between the textual representation and the validation of data. Nucleus does not follow an object-oriented approach, but instead establishes a taxonomy of data types based on subset relations. Data type values are validated using executable bytecode, which is generated from parameterizable patterns. In addition to these validation rules, access to data can be controlled via usage control policies.
