Core Setup
Decentralized services that allow participants to join the Catena-X dataspace and enable standardized, sovereign data exchange.
This includes mandatory components such as the Connector (e.g., Eclipse Dataspace Connector or Digital Twin Registry) which ensure secure connectivity and compliance with the Data Space Protocol. These services establish a basic connection to the dataspace, independent of any business application.
Differentiation from Business Applications:
Business Applications are ready-to-use solutions for specific use cases (e.g., PCF, Traceability, Quality) and often come with an embedded Connector or Digital Twin Registry. Core Setup Provider deliver generic foundational services required by all participants, independent of any specific use case. They ensure technical connectivity and compliance.
