Application Architecture Overview​

DueDiligenceArchitecture

The Golden Record Service at the Operating Company manages the master data of Catena-X participants, including Due Diligence information. Therefore, the Due Diligence information is part of the so-called Golden Record of a Catena-X participant.

This information is provided by the Data Providers via the DDC Application used by the company that has due diligence information to share with other Catena-X participants, especially OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

Data Consumers are normally the OEMs and Tier1 suppliers, that want to perform a due diligence check on the suppliers in their global supply chain. They have access to limited due diligence information via the BPDM/Golden Record of a Catena-X participant. More due diligence relevant information can be consumed directly from the supplier (Data Providers) that are connected to the Catena-X data space.

The Data Provider (supplier) determines what Data Consumers (OEM and Tier1) are allowed to see which due diligence information. A specific supplier can be a Data Provider for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, as well as a Data Consumer from suppliers further down in the supply chain.

The EDC Control Planes handles authentication and authorization between parties.

The EDC Data Planes execute the actual data transfer after a successful authentication and authorization.
