name: Epic
about: Create a new Version of the IDS Communication Guide that is more specific and unamigious
title: 'Create Communication Guide V2'
labels: 'documentation; enhancement'
assignees: @ssteinbuss

---

Rationale

There is a need for further clarification on IDS Specification:

• The current Specifications are not unambiguous and lack important details
• A workshop series will work with a small and targeted group on an updated version of the IDS meta protocol specification
• This will have a clear impact on other IDSA artifacts, i.e., connectors and IDS-testbed

Owner

@ssteinbuss ; IDSA TSC.

Stakeholder Point of Contact

@ssteinbuss and the Communication Guide Workshop series on Thursdays.

Stakeholders are the developers and creators of IDS Core Components.

Dependencies

• IDS-RAM
• IDS-Rulebook
• IDS Certification Scheme
• IDS-G and IDS-G-pre

Description

To achieve this, IDSA will -

• evolve to support high-performance modern commercial-grade customer use cases (Kubernetes-ready, Gaia-X-ready, leveraging cloud-native compute foundation CNCF). 
  - simplify complexity for easy implementation of existing data products. (brownfield integration)
  - find a good balance between standards and user flexibility (80/20 rule?).
• find a good balance between architecture and specs.

The Outcome Outcome will be:

• a specification of the interaction of the IDS components with the data products [and the data models/data-products(to be specified) in use, the metadata in use (e.g., data usage policies, data offerings(what is the same as data products) ].
• This includes a tiered approach including/emphasizing mandatory and optional aspects.

Context

The IDS-G Communication specifications shall be precise and unambiguous so that they can be implemented interoperably.
