Data Sharing
Data Sharing
InformationGrid offers a suite of data sharing components that are designed to help organizations set up, operationalize, and actively participate in data spaces. These components enable seamless collaboration and governance across diverse ecosystems. Our growing suite of components consists of:
- Datastation
A Datastation is a Connector-as-a-Service that allows organizations to connect to and participate in dataspaces. Datastations are based on the IDSA and iSHARE standards. - Vocabulary Hub
Vocabulary Hubs are part of the shared facilities of a dataspace and allow participants to the level of semantic consistency by offering shared of data schemas, vocabularies, and dictionaries. - Audit Log
Central to the notion of trust and transparency is a shared Audit Log which provides a comprehensive mechanism to capture and manage data-sharing events as a basis for reporting and auditing.
Together, these components empower organizations to unlock the full potential of data sharing with confidence and control.
Luminis Datastation: The trusted connector as a service
As part of the European Data Strategy, organizations are looking at ways to participate in and benefit from dataspaces. And with the emerging reality of dataspaces, organizations are faced with questions like what standards to adhere to and how to minimize risk and costs.
The Luminis Datastation is a Connector-as-a-Service that implements secure and trusted data exchange. It is the principle entrypoint to dataspaces and allows organizations to participate in federated data ecosystems without needing to invest in the underlying standards and infrastructures.
Main Features Luminis Datastation
Luminis Datastation is designed to serve as the gateway for participating in dataspaces, enabling organizations to share and access data while retaining full control over usage and compliance.
It supports the iSHARE trust framework for federated Identity and Access Management to ensure that all data sharing parties are trusted and authorized.
It is based on the IDSA connector architecture and implements the IDSA Dataspace protocol to negotiate the access and usage of data.
At the heart of Datastation lies InformationGrid, Luminis’ secure, data-centric cloud platform that brings agility, security, and integration to your data strategy.
InformationGrid provides for a modular and extensible architecture for rapid solution development, support for semantic data models, APIs, and connectors, and end-to-end auditability, data lineage, and monitoring.
Luminis Datastation aligns with dataspaces that are central to the emerging European Data Strategy. Datastations are compliant with IDSA, iSHARE, and other ecosystem standards. Whether you’re in mobility, energy, logistics, or healthcare, Datastation supports cross-domain collaboration through the adoption of open standards, plug-and-play integration with your existing systems and scalable cloud-based deployments on public or private infrastructure.
Datastations provide comprehensive data management capabilities that empower organizations to model and govern their data products, offerings, and access policies with precision. Through intuitive tools, Datastations enable you to define data products and offerings clearly, while enforcing fine-grained access and usage controls via customizable policies. This policy-driven approach ensures that data sharing is not only seamless but also secure, compliant, and aligned with your strategic objectives—turning complex data ecosystems into manageable, trustworthy environments.
