Publication & Discovery

For a data space to create value, participants must be able to publish what they offer, and others must be able to discover it easily. iSHARE provides a framework for the discovery of:

• (Data) Services. All participants providing services must provide a /capabilities endpoint, as defined in the developer documentation. This endpoint provides information on the available iSHARE service offerings.

• Participants and Data Spaces: participants of an event, complete data spaces are discoverable through the /parties endpoint or /dataspaces endpoint of any iSHARE Participation Registry.

Although partly covered in the iSHARE Trust Framework, the data space is free to define supplemental agreements or specifications on top of or following the DSSC building block.

The guiding questions can help in the co-creation process and in defining this building block, so please see the next section.
