Can Global Commodity Markets Interoperate without a Central Gatekeeper? A Federated, Vendor-Neutral Architecture and Testable Research Agenda

This scientific concept paper examines whether open, vendor-neutral and independently governed infrastructure can enable interoperability across international commodity markets without introducing a new centralized trading platform. It develops a conceptual architectural framework, testable hypotheses and an evaluation methodology. It does not claim a deployed product, empirical validation or completed market adoption.

Abstract

This scientific concept paper examines whether open, vendor-neutral and independently governed infrastructure can enable interoperability across international commodity markets without introducing a new centralized trading platform. It develops a conceptual architectural framework, testable hypotheses and an evaluation methodology. It does not claim a deployed product, empirical validation or completed market adoption.
