How will your organisation participate?

Provider

Share datasets, models or services — they stay on your infrastructure.

Consumer

Find and request data and services offered by other nodes.

How will the node run?

On my own infrastructure

Download the deployment kit and run the node yourself — full control of the machine and its data.

Host it for me

The dataspace operator runs the node for you — link-only: datasets stay in your own repository, and only references are handed over — a link (e.g. an object store like S3) or API credentials (endpoint + token). You keep the account.

A different node is possible later for the other role.

3 · Your node is registered

The account for — and the node record are ready. Deploy the kit on your infrastructure — on its first start the node activates itself here and receives the account.
