Scope
<p>The Eclipse Dataspace Hub provides a centralized knowledge base, sample code, and end-to-end demonstrators to accelerate the adoption and implementation of dataspace technologies</p><p>The Eclipse Dataspace Hub encompasses three complementary pillars designed to support the full lifecycle of dataspace adoption.</p><ol><li data-list-item-id="e84a8524ed7ff25d58aa30b0c89e6065a">A core deliverable of the project is a comprehensive library of <strong>sample code and reusable templates </strong>that accelerate development with EDC. This includes reference implementations for commonly used EDC extensions. Additionally, integration examples will demonstrate how to connect EDC-based solutions with external systems.</li><li data-list-item-id="eed3493f5384c1eae401407adc59cf4ce">Beyond isolated code snippets, the project will deliver fully functional <strong>end-to-end demonstrators</strong> that illustrate realistic cross-organizational data sharing scenarios. Where feasible, interactive tutorials and sandbox environments will allow developers to experiment with dataspace concepts in a safe, self-contained setting without the need for complex local infrastructure setup.</li><li data-list-item-id="e5572a2d9805e7f915e95a7d4aa34cb91">A <strong>central, community-maintained knowledge base</strong> will consolidate conceptual and practical guidance in one accessible location. Foundational documentation will explain core concepts — what a dataspace is, the role of connectors, catalogs, and trust frameworks, and how the various components interact.</li></ol><p>What the project will NOT provide:</p><p>The project will not engage in the core development of dataspace specifications or implementations. The Eclipse Dataspace Hub focuses exclusively on enablement, education, and demonstration. Any enhancements or bug fixes identified during sample development are contributed upstream to the appropriate repositories rather than maintained within the project.</p><p>In addition, the project does not aim to develop or maintain production-grade code. While demonstrators may include basic setups for illustrative purposes, these are not intended for direct use in production environments without further hardening.</p>
