Product Information

Description

The EDC Connector extension transforms data sharing from isolated one-to-one exchanges into a collaborative ecosystem where multiple organizations can discover and access relevant datasets. By implementing indexing capabilities, it creates searchable metadata repositories that catalog available data assets across participating companies without requiring direct data transfers. Key features include federated search functionality that allows users to query across organizational boundaries, secure discovery mechanisms that respect data sovereignty, and integration with existing Eclipse Data Components infrastructure. This enables use cases such as supply chain optimization where manufacturers can find logistics data from multiple partners, research consortia searching for complementary datasets across institutions, and regulatory compliance scenarios where organizations need to verify data availability across their network. The solution maintains the security and control principles of the original EDC framework while adding the scalability needed for multi-party data ecosystems.
