FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Each vendor manages its own assets through customized catalogs, publication flows and access control. Data is transformed into common models, such as NGSI-LD, to ensure interoperability. Sharing is governed by digital contracts, dynamically evaluated by policy engines (OPA), with integrated traceability and auditing.
Data remains hosted on the provider’s infrastructure, whether in edge, cloud or hybrid systems. The platform does not centralize information, but acts as an intermediary to discover, access and consume data directly at its original location, through secure and auditable connectors.
The primary responsibility lies with the provider, but the ecosystem includes mechanisms for semantic validation, traceability, versioning and origin certification that strengthen trust. Furthermore, data contracts allow explicit conditions to be established regarding the use, format, frequency or quality of the shared information.
Access is enabled for organizations registered as participants, which can assume roles of provider, consumer or operator/customer. Each access is governed by verifiable credentials and digitally signed usage contracts. Governance policies allow access to be restricted based on context, type of consumer, stated purpose or level of trust required.
