the one-stop place to go and get verified against the Gaia-X rules to obtain compliance in an automated way.
Specifications
The spécifications describe how Gaia-X works in terms of functional and techincal requirements
The architecture document (AD) provides rules-agnostic technical and syntactic interoperability guidelines.
The compliance document (CD), previously known as Policy Rules and Labelling Document (PRLD) and Policy Rules Compliance Document (PRCD) provides a set of rules to ensure the organisational and semantic interoperability. This specification is technology agnostic.
The Identity, Credentials and Access Management Document (ICAM) provides specifications on how-to implement credentials for the Gaia-X ecosystem, as well as it describes mechanism for rights delegation, authentication, authorization and access management.
The Data Exchange Document specifies the processes, rules and requirements to allow the exchange of Data in the Gaia-X Community.
Code
These specifications are then translated into source code by our community
The Gaia-X AISBL provides a standard implementation of the specifications through software components. These components are provided under two main versions now:
- v1 codename TAGUS implements the rules of the trust framework 22.10 as well as the architecture Document 22.10, Policy Rules and Labelling Document 22.11 and Identity, Credentials and Access Management 22.10.
- v2 codename LOIRE implements the rules of the Compliance Document 24.06 following the requirements of the architecture document 24.04.
Labels
In order to operationalise a federation of infrastructure services and build interoperable data spaces, The Gaia-X Association develops governance rules based on European values. The GXDCHs issue labels attesting the level of Compliance to the rules expressed in the Specifications.
