EDC Extension for Asset Administration Shell (AAS)Asset Administration Shell (AAS) data can be manually shared over the EDC by linking an EDC Asset to the HTTP endpoint of the specific AAS element. Additionally, contracts and policies have to be defined for each element. In order to minimize configuration effort and prevent errors, this extension is able to link existing AAS services and its elements to the EDC automatically. Furthermore, this extension can also start an AAS service by reading an static AAS model file. A default contract and policy can be chosen to be applied for all elements. For critical elements, additional contracts and policies can be placed. External changes to the structure of an AAS are automatically synchronized by the extension.Link to repository
Eclipse Tractus-X EDCExtension of the EDC Connector for “Manufacturing-X” dataspaces that are based on the Catena-X data ecosystem. The Tractus-X EDC focus in the automatization of the data exchange and contract negotiation withouth human interaction. Additionally it offers a number of optimizations like the “Endpoint Data Reference” (EDR) interface which simplifies the data negotiation and transfer mechanism, handling token callback for the business applications. It provides also a token refresh handler, an optional BPN-DID resolution service for easier identification of the partners and “restricts” the usage of “odrl” policies based on legal requirements, provided by several company lawyers, which stablished the goverance/regulatory framework from Catena-X, enabling the data exchange in a data ecosystem, via this EDC Connector, to be done with legal coverage. Additionally, this EDC Connector offers a deployment configuration via Helm Charts and an extensive architecture documentation from Business/Adoption Level to Development/Operation Level in the Eclipse Tractus-X Connector KIT.Link to repository
Data tracking by auditing dataProof of concept of how to track data usage by aggregating audit-logs of different components in a single instance: The work presents a first proof of concept of how traceability of data usage can be implemented using the EDC Connector event framework and audit logging. In this PoC, the traceability of data is limited to the AWS dataplane. The EDC Connector logs which exact assets are stored with which key in the AWS bucket. With this information, data usage can be traced from the shared logs of the EDC Connector and the AWS S3 bucket. Elasticsearch was chosen as the instance to merge both logs in this project. A simple Python script takes over the analysis of the log data.Link to repository
EDC GUIExtended EDC Data Dashboard that integrates the open-source EDC Connector interfaces while adding asset properties and form validation, providing design and UX changes, and introducing configuration profiles.Link to repository
EDC Connector HTTP clientAn HTTP client to communicate with the EDC Connector for Node.js and the browser.Link to repository npm
Integration for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power PlatformThe prototype demonstrates how to publish product information from a Microsoft Power App to a participant in an existing dataspace. The Microsoft Power Automate custom connector calls the EDC endpoints from the Nocode/lowcode platform to publish an asset and create a contract. This example shows the integration into the Microsoft Dataverse.Link to repository
