• Simple Graph Exchanger Frontend
  • Extend the SDE for accessing the Matchmaking Agent or
  • Have a new "SGE" application

Feature "Refactor Agent Plane-Matchmaking Agent Interface for Enabling Simple Graph Exchanger"

Benefit Hypothesis

• the Simple Graph Exchanger Feature has already been developed in a preview branch of KA-EDC
• It adds the ability to host business data from the RDF Store over the Matchmaking Agent
• The Matchmaking Agent is currently integrated into the Agent Plane container that is bound to be public
• After the refactoring the Matchmaking Agent and RDF Store are in a separate container and Agent Plane and Matchmaking Agent communicate over a (private) network interface

Beneficiaries

• small and medium sized companies which want to directly upload/provide use case data
• security-aware companies who want to separate data storage from public API even for meta-data.

Acceptance Criteria

• Interface definition for Matchmaking Agent
• Matchmaking Agent + Datspace Synchronizer + RDF Store Code transferred to KA-RI
• Deployment of Matchmaking Agent
• Configuration of Matchmaking Endpoint in KA-EDC
• Interfacing the new Interface from KA-EDC

Estimated Story Points:
30 SP

Feature "Simple Graph Exchanger Application"

Benefit Hypothesis

• Using the SGE Application, it will be easy to manually upload data supporting particular KA-based use cases
• It will be possible to change and/or delete data
• It will be possible to control under which policies and contracts the data is published
• It will be possible to limit with which dataspace/internet resources the data can be merged/integrated

Beneficiaries

• small and medium sized companies which want to directly upload/provide use case data

Acceptance Criteria

• Either a separate application or a functionality integrated into the SDE
• Should be publishable/compatible with the Catena-X Portal
• Upload of data/creation of assets should be possible given use case templates
• Changing of data and deletion of data should be possible.

Estimated Story Points:
30 SP

Feature "Supply-Chain Domain Ontology"

Benefit Hypothesis

• using always digital twin/serial parts information is a too strong requirement for many use cases
• furthermore, the existing "hard-typed" relationships can be flexiblizized level (legal<->site<->address)
• many use cases can be based on purely abstract supply-chain information.
• the supply chain domain ontology will be able to relate the business partners based on a plethora of concrete data sources and diverse taxonomical conventioins.

Beneficiaries

• any use case/use case participant based on supply chain information

Acceptance Criteria

• domain ontology created
• domain ontology valid
• sample data bindings, use case templates
• Demonstration of integration of various level of data

Estimated Story Points:
13 SP
