Mobilithek Data Offering
Integrating Mobilithek into the MDS enables users to access Data Offerings whose content is hosted or brokered by Mobilithek and which have an open data licence. To access these, users can use the familiar functions of the MDS; MDS members do not need to register with Mobilithek.
Technically, Mobilithek is connected via Connectors. In the case of brokered data (i.e. data provided by Mobilithek), usage contracts can be concluded and terminated within the MDS. Mobilithek automatically performs all necessary processes for activating and deleting subscriptions.
Mobilithek is the national access point for mobility data and implements requirements from the delegated regulations for the European Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Directive and the amended Passenger Transportation Act.
Further information on the use of Mobilithek Data Offerings from the MDS is available in a blog post and under the menu item ‘Information for Mobility Data Space (MDS) members‘ in the FAQ section of Mobilithek.
EDC Connector
The Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) is a collection of components for participating in data spaces. The EDC Connector is a component that provides secure and reliable access to data and its integration into different systems. The MDS Connector, based on the EDC, forms the basis for data exchange between MDS members and acts as an intermediary between providers and recipients. The decentralised architecture ensures data security and data sovereignty at all times.
Connector-as-a-Service (CaaS)
The Connector-as-a-Service (CaaS) is a service provided by MDS partners that members can use on request. By using CaaS, members do not have to install the MDS Connector themselves in their company's own infrastructure. Instead, they can use the connector as a software-as-a-service product via the MDS Portal and thus participate in the Mobility Data Space. Data security and data sovereignty are always guaranteed and data is still only exchanged between the contractual partners.
The CaaS is accessible via single sign-on from the portal and the number of users is unlimited. For more information, please contact our Community Management Team at community@mobility-dataspace.eu.
