BPDM

Project Description

This repository is part of the overarching Eclipse Tractus-X project.

BPDM is an acronym for business partner data management.

This project serves two main purposes:

1. Provide services for uploading and downloading business partner data records, so that data space participants can find and identify each other and exchange data in a legally secure manner
2. Establish an infrastructure for realizing the Golden Record process which turns business partner data records from data space participants to Golden Records, that is cleaned and enriched business partner data records uniquely identified by a business partner number (BPN)

The following sections give an overview of this repository's structure.

BPDM Applications

Heart of this project is the source code for the BPDM applications. Together, those applications provide the infrastructure for the Golden Record process. The BPDM solution contains the following applications:

• Pool: The single source of truth for Golden Records and BPNs
• Gate: Allows data space participants to provide business partner data records to the Golden Record process and consume Golden Record data from the BPDM Pool
• Orchestrator: Supports the coordination of the data flow between BPDM Gate, BPDM Pool and external Data Curation and Enrichment Services
• Cleaning Service Dummy: A dummy implementation of a Data Curation and Enrichment Service, responsible for processing business partner data records and turning them into Golden Records

Sub-folders for BPDM applications are easily recognizable by the bpdm prefix.
