Supply Chain Disruption Notifications kit banner

Introduction​

The Development View provides information and resources for implementing Supply Chain Disruption Notifications (further: notifications) standards. The architecture chapter describes the interactions of all components in the notifications context. The policies chapter describes the access policies, usage policies and contract definitions. The protocol chapter gives examples how the data asset is registered in the connector. In the chapter sample data the semantic data model of the Supply Chain Disruption Notifications are defined with a reference to the turtle file and an example JSON payload. For quick installation guides and reference to a ready implementation of notifications, please see Operation View.

Architecture​

Figure 1 shows the high-level architecture of the notification exchange in the Catena-X dataspace and the services that are involved. Both the notification sender and the notification recipient must be members of the Catena-X network in order to communicate with each other. With the help of the Identity Access Management (IAM) each participant can authenticate itself, verify the identity of the requesting party and decide whether to authorize the request.

From conceptual point of view the system consists of different building blocks. These building blocks in the following diagram show which participant deploys which components. Identification and Access Management is omitted for simplicity reasons.
