Overview of the members of the MDS
MDS Portal
Data, interfaces and support: all in one place
The MDS Portal, which is accessible to registered members, brings together all the key components of the Mobility Data Space in one place. This is where members can find their data offers and requests, manage everything related to the technical interface and contact the MDS Support.
News ticker and events page - stay up to date
The main page of the portal provides up-to-date technical information in the main window (e.g. upcoming maintenance work) and informs members about upcoming events, current data offers and requests as well as news from the MDS Community.
Data Catalogue, My Data Offers and My Connectors
In the Data Catalogue, you can check the current offers of all members and, if interested, consume the respective data set via your connector. You can find an overview of your own data offers that are currently listed in the Data Catalogue under "My Data Offers". All technical information and the administration of your interface (connector) are listed under "My Connectors".
My Organisation - the user administration
In the "My Organisation" section, users can view and edit the organisation and user data of their own organisation. This is also where you invite other colleagues to the MDS Portal and assign them authorisations.
Support - your access to the help centre
The MDS Portal gives you access to our support centre, where you can provide feedback or contact the MDS if you have any problems..
