Mapping - Logic
Glossary Page
Mapping, also known as matching, involves aligning the semantics and attributes of capabilities with skills. This is done by comparing the requirements of the product or customer (i.e., capabilities) with the capabilities of the machine or service provider (i.e., skills). Mapping can be done at different levels of detail, and the result is a list of modules that either fit or do not fit. This list can then be further filtered and prioritized based on additional criteria, such as which modules fit best, are most cost-efficient, or offer the best quality.

This blog uses simple analogies to explain the core challenges: outdated machines that can’t “speak” to modern systems, and people hesitant to share data without context or trust. With solutions like Asset Administration Shells and Data Spaces, manufacturers can unlock hidden value, foster secure collaboration, and take real steps toward digital transformation.

Enabling cross-ecosystem commerce: A perspective by NTT and T-Systems
T-Systems and NTT are shaping the future of trusted global data exchange by combining telecom-grade infrastructure with federated identity and dataspace interoperability. Their joint contributions to the IDSA paper and cross-border testbeds between Europe and Japan show how telcos can drive secure, scalable, and regulation-compliant data collaboration across ecosystems. This approach supports real-world use cases like Digital Product Passports, predictive maintenance, and circular economy models—laying the groundwork for a network of sovereign, interoperable digital infrastructures.
