Our next-generation connector services implement DSP-aligned catalog, negotiation and transfer interactions.
Technical exchange protocol
Dataspace Protocol 2025-1
A common protocol for publishing offers, negotiating agreements and coordinating access to data.
Our claim statusIn deliveryDataspace Infrastructure Gen 2
Why it matters
A shared foundation for collaboration at scale.
Participants need more than compatible data formats. They also need their connectors to understand the same catalog, contract-negotiation and transfer-process interactions. The Dataspace Protocol specifies these control-plane exchanges using web technologies.
Publish interoperable data and service offers
Negotiate machine-readable usage agreements
Coordinate access through explicit process states
Keep the protocol separate from the underlying data transport
How we support and align
From standard to demonstrable design choices.
We deliberately distinguish architectural alignment, implementation and formal conformity.
Policy and agreement concepts remain explicit in the exchange lifecycle.
The architecture separates control-plane coordination from the participant’s chosen data plane.
Delivery is underway; protocol conformity is not yet presented as a completed claim.
