The DS2 Software Documentation
To simplify the understanding of DS2 modules and the reference architecture, the modular components of DS2 have been divided into Tiers.
Tier 0: DS2 Support Orientated
These represent a range of modules that are perceived as cross-cutting to the other tiers and their modules.
Modules
Tier 1: DS2 Marketplace and Deployment orientated
These support the acquisition, porting, and deployment of modules at participants or service intermediaries
Modules
Tier 2: DS2 In-Data Space Enablement
The modules facilitate consumer -provider participants in sharing their data. The modules are in general used by a single participant only in their local environment but in some cases, there are additional features to be used between data provider and consumer.
Modules
Tier 3: DS2 Inter Data Space Enablement
To an extent, the logic for this layer is the reverse of tier 2. These modules can be allocated to the Tier 2 situation but their added value is much greater in a cross-sector, cross dataspace scenario.
