It also acts as data policy enforcement point. The Ocean Enterprise Provider ensure technical data sovereignty for the Data Provider. The Ocean Enterprise Provider also encrypts and decrypts catalogue information to protect sensitive metadata.
About
The Ocean Enterprise Provider, alternatively named the “Connector” or “Access Controller” is a REST API specifically designed for the provisioning of data services. The access controller acts as an intermediary between the data source/data product provider and the user/data product consumer, thus preventing the need for the data product consumer to have direct access to the data product. Before granting access to a resource it performs a series of checks to verify the users permission to access a service, such as a data product contract opt-in, the identity of the data product consumer, successful payment, and access policies. The Ocean Enterprise Provider supports integrity checks, the transfer of data, the orchestration of Compute-to-Data, and the forwarding to service offerings to support “Everything as a Service”.

- Dependencies
- The Ocean Enterprise Provider depends on the availability of an Ocean Enterprise compatible catalogue and catalogue cache (Ocean Enterprise Aquarius), the Ocean Enterprise Transaction Cache (Ocean Enterprise Subgraph) and the presence of an EVM-compatible distributed ledger supporting the Ocean Enterprise Smart Contracts.
- Business offerings
- The Implementations are operated and managed by the data space participants AND implementations are available as managed service AND there are support offerings available.
- Additional functionalities
- The Ocean Enterprise Provider, besides data transfer, supports the Compute-to-Data Orchestration which allows the on-demand generation of new data products from data, software and compute resources within the technical control area designated by the data provider to avoid the unnecessary replication of sensitive and valuable data. The Ocean Enterprise Provider also supports settlement/payment processes as prerequisite for granting access to data, software, and/or compute resources and the forwarding to Software as a Service service offerings.
