Catalogue of Specifications

The Catalogue of Specifications developed by DS4SSCC partners as one of the project deliverables aims at providing an overview of the identified building blocks (BBs) (technical and non-technical) required to set up and operate the data space for smart and sustainable cities and communities (SSCC). 

The Catalogue follows the taxonomy proposed by the OpenDEI project and adopted by the Data Spaces Support Center (DSSC). The specified BBs are mechanisms to implement the Minimal Interoperable Mechanisms (MIMs Plus) promoted by the Living-in.EU initiative. The Catalogue is accompanied by an introductory chapter (Section 1) which introduces all these concepts and initiatives to understand the background of the context. 

Section 2 of the report summarises the collected information through the survey and several interviews which have been conducted. All this information has been analysed and properly integrated into the Catalogue (Section 3) in a reasonable and homogeneous manner. Section 4 describes the meaning of MIMs in the SSCC data space and establishes the mapping of MIMs onto the BBs. Finally, Section 5 compiles all the content in this document by extracting some conclusions and identifying next steps which link this document to the next outcome of WP3, the Reference Architecture and Cookbook. Complementary to this document, an online Catalogue has been developed to facilitate access to information and the evolution of the Catalogue in the following stages. 

In addition to the report version, you can also consult the online version of the Catalogue, which will follow the same taxonomy as OpenDEI and the information per building block as shown in the image below. For the development of the digital Catalogue, DS4SSCC has counted with the support of the DS4SKILLS project, adapting the online inventory to its needs.
