The Base-X architecture is closely orientated towards the Gaia-X framework. This orientation ensures that Base-X is in line with the guiding principles and standards of Gaia-X in terms of interoperability, security and compliance with European data protection and privacy standards. Base-X consists of various core services that can be used to instantiate a Data Space. These services are fundamental to creating a robust and flexible data ecosystem that supports a wide range of use cases.
An outstanding feature of Base-X is its innovative semantic model. This model makes it possible to map a wide range of use cases in different domains without developing new ontologies. Instead, it builds on existing ontologies, which simplifies the development process and ensures compatibility with existing systems. This semantic model provides a standardised format that enables the development of semantic solutions not only for experts, but also for developers without specific background knowledge. This accessibility is further supported by various Base-X toolings that facilitate continuous development and implementation.
The combination of these features makes Base-X an integral part of modern data ecosystems. It enables efficient and effective utilisation of data across different platforms and industries, fostering the development of a connected, intelligent and sustainable digital ecosystem in line with the Gaia-X principles. Base-X is thus at the centre of efforts to create a unified, interoperable and secure European data infrastructure network.
