Data Exchange Solution

The most advanced technology to industrialize and streamline data distribution or data exchange in a secure and trusted ecosystem.

What is a Data Exchange Solution?

A Data Exchange Solution delivers all necessary capabilities to address data exchanges under various business models, meeting compliance, security and privacy requirements. A Data Exchange Solution addresses the needs of the orchestrator operating the solution as a trusted data intermediary, as well as the needs of the data providers and data acquirers engaged in trusted data transactions.

DATA PROVIDERS

Create secure and compliant trusted data exchanges

Trust is a key element in any data transaction, whether it is monetized or free of charge. It relies on a clear and shared framework, as well as continuous control over the access and the use of data. The Data Exchange solution from Dawex enables data providers to:

  • Deploy any data exchange use cases
  • Configure the terms of use and service for each data transaction
  • Retain control over data via numerous security and control settings for trusted data transactions
  • Ensure compliance with local and international data regulations
  • Conform to Trusted Data Transaction, the future European harmonized standard

DATA ACQUIRERS

Discover and find relevant data products

Data acquirers can search data products, through metadata adapted to their specific use cases or sector taxonomy. Leveraging powerful filtering tools, data acquirers can roam available data offerings, and access data that is rarely or never distributed elsewhere.

  • Target relevant data or data providers
  • Browse data products catalogs and filter by use case and/or sector
  • Use keywords to find data products
  • Conduct geolocated research 
  • Find data products described in any language
  • Create alerts and save searches

DATA PROVIDERS

Support managed and decentralized Data Exchange flows

Data storage, data format, access method, data flow governance: all these parameters are key to ensuring smooth and trusted data exchanges. Dawex Data Exchange Solution provides seamless data distribution from providers to acquirers using decentralized connectors or solution proxy capabilities.

  • Data sovereignty at hand, the data providers keep control on their data storage
  • Solution proxy mechanism to benefit from the scalability, security and monitoring capabilities
  • Managed distribution modes to guarantee data access availability to data consumers
  • Distributed data exchange modes for peer to peer technical data flows
  • Decentralized data connectors, such as Eclipse Data Space Components connectors  (EDC connector) for data exchanges in compliance with the Data Space Protocol
  • Data Transfer Agents bringing end-to-end Gaia-X Compliance.
