Work description
This work will begin with a study of the principles, architecture, and federated services of the Gaia-X initiative, with the aim of understanding the mechanisms that ensure data sovereignty, interoperability, and trust in data-sharing infrastructures. Relevant specifications and components of the Gaia-X Trust Framework ecosystem will be analyzed, as well as the technologies required for its adoption in existing infrastructures. The issues to be addressed include the architectural definition of mechanisms enabling the integration of Gaia-X services and principles into existing data spaces, strengthening aspects of governance, discovery, and controlled data sharing. Experimental studies will be conducted to evaluate the proposed solutions. A prototype will be developed in a laboratory environment and integrated into the existing infrastructure, demonstrating the application of Gaia-X concepts and services.
