Requirement

Policies within Catena-X MUST be aligned with the usage policy cx.circular.dpp:1 (see 2.2 Policy Constraints for Data Exchange). Each Data Offer providing battery passport data under this use case therefore MUST be registered as an EDC assetAsset On the Data Provider side, an Asset describes the data set which will be shared or can be consumed by a Data Consumer. compliant with CX-0152 with a UsagePurposeConstraint whose rightOperand contains cx.circular.dpp:1, as specified in section 2.2.

Proof of Conformity

Data Provider: Review of Data Offers to confirm the presence of a UsagePurposeConstraint with value cx.circular.dpp:1 in the assetAsset On the Data Provider side, an Asset describes the data set which will be shared or can be consumed by a Data Consumer.'s Usage Policy.

Proof of Confirmity

Data Provider: Review of submodel descriptors in the Digital Twin Registry to confirm the correct primary and supplemental semantic IDsIDS The International Data Space enables 'smart services' and business processes across companies and industries while ensuring data sovereignty and self-determined control of data use., and review of submodel payloads to confirm conformance with the aspect modelAspect Model A formal, machine-readable semantic description (expressed with RDF/Turtle) of data accessible from an aspect. Note 1: An Aspect Model must adhere to the Semantic Aspect Meta Model (SAMM) and be compliant with its validity rules. Note 2: Aspect Models are logical data models that can be used to detail a conceptual model to describe the semantics of runtime data related to a concept; elements of an Aspect Model can/should refer to terms of a standardized Business Glossary (if existing). and its JSON Schema. The data models must be supported to be accessed via a digital twin registry conformant to CX-0002.
