IntraDataspace: An architecture of a company-internal Dataspace

In this paper we present the proposed architecture of an IntraDataspace built on general Dataspace principles and implemented using the Open-Source Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) Connector. Such an IntraDataspace is used to exchange heterogenous data like documents, measured values and data series between different research and development projects within the same company, applying the policies defined by individual non-disclosure agreements signed between the company and the respective client of a project. Manual clearance decisions of authorized users are supported by automatically created tickets in an integrated Issue Tracking System extending the Policy state engine of Connectors for human interaction. Such tickets are auditable and allow the delegation of decisions to specialist departments in cases, where no automatic implementations are feasible.
