Glossary

The Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) is a comprehensive, cross-industry approach to establishing more efficient and effective information exchange within supply networks. SCORVoc is an OWL vocabulary that fully formalizes the latest SCOR standard and addresses any limitations identified in existing formalizations.

The capability of data search and discovery empowers users to find, understand, and trust the information essential for making informed decisions based on data. It plays a critical role in fostering a data-driven culture. Irrespective of the existence of data governance or the proficiency of employees in data literacy, ensuring the availability of the required data remains crucial.

An outdated network protocol for secure data transmission that is no longer current. Since the introduction of SSL version 3.0, the protocol is referred to as TLS.

Security by Design (SBD) is the approach that integrates security requirements into the development phase of a product for software and hardware, in order to prevent security gaps from emerging in the later stages.

A specific collection of security properties for connectors is established that outlines various security aspects such as isolation level, attestation, and authentication. These properties express the minimum requirements that a Data Consumer must meet in order to access the exposed Data Endpoints.

The Self-Description Graph receives data from Self-Descriptions that have been identified by the Catalogue and are presently in an active state within their lifecycle.

Within Gaia-X, a schema refers to a comprehensive set of class data that encompasses shapes, ontologies, and controlled vocabularies. Shapes establish the criteria for validation, whereas ontologies outline the terminology and connections between them, forming the foundation for constructing claims. Controlled vocabularies make up a significant portion of the vocabulary and are more expansive and straightforward than the more intricate ontology, consisting of extensive collections of standard references and country codes.

Semantically described data refers to information that possesses a specific significance within a particular context. It comprises both data and the relevant contextual details.

The semantic data model is a method of structuring data that includes semantic information that adds a basic meaning to the data and the relationships that lie between them.

Interfaces with serial communication enable data exchange between computers and peripheral devices or components. These interfaces are characterized by the transmission of data in bit sequences. However, different synchronization methods between the sender and receiver, as well as access procedures to the transmission medium, are used. Furthermore, these interfaces differ in their application area: CAN, for example, was developed for automotive applications, while Ethernet is used for LAN applications.

In Kubernetes, a Service is a way to expose a network application that is running as one or more Pods in your cluster. A Service selects a set of Pods using a selector, and if more Pods are added or removed, the set of Pods that matches the selector will automatically change. The Service abstraction ensures that network traffic can be directed to the current set of Pods for the workload. Kubernetes Services utilize IP networking (IPv4, IPv6, or both) or a DNS external name. The Service abstraction also enables other mechanisms, such as Ingress and Gateway, to be employed.

Service Composition refers to the capability of a Service Offering to specify and require the existence of functional dependencies. These functional dependencies describe behaviors that respond to external actions, matching the requirements and characteristics of the Service Offering. Within the Gaia-X conceptual model, the functional dependencies of a Service Offering can include Resources, Assets, or other Service Offerings.

A Service Instance is an instance of a Service Offering that is created and running during runtime, and is closely tied to a specific version of a Self-Description. Each Service Instance has a distinct identity and can consist of one or more atomic building blocks that are uniquely identifiable and associated with a Service Subscription.

A Service Offering refers to a collection of assets and resources that a Provider combines into a package to offer to Consumers. The Service Offering may include nested offerings with one or more additional Service Offerings included within it.

An individually selectable name for a service set that identifies a device in the WLAN. A wireless access point can usually support multiple SSIDs simultaneously, allowing the setup of multiple virtual local area networks. A common scenario is the provision of a guest WLAN alongside at least one other WLAN.

A Service Subscription is a contract between a Consumer and a Provider that enables and governs the use of one or more Service Instances. It is associated with a particular version of a Service Offering, which defines the attributes of the Service Instances that will be provided. The Service Subscription has a unique lifecycle separate from the Service Offering, and includes additional characteristics and rules.

SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) is a concept or approach for organizing and utilizing distributed functions that are managed by different owners.

SHACL provides a language for validating RDF graphs based on a set of conditions expressed as shapes and other constructs in RDF form. In this process, the RDF graph that contains the shapes is called the shapes graph, while the one being validated is called the data graph. By validating data graphs against shapes graphs, SHACL allows for the creation of descriptions of data graphs that meet specific conditions, which can be useful for purposes such as building user interfaces, generating code, and integrating data.

Sharding is a database partitioning technique that divides extensive databases into smaller, more manageable portions known as data shards. By breaking down the database into these smaller components, they become faster and easier to handle. The term "shard" refers to a diminutive fraction of the entire database.

SMART Analytics is a consulting company that focuses on providing professional services in Business Intelligence. Their area of expertise includes developing and implementing analytical solutions such as data visualization, dashboarding, analytical business applications, and reporting.

The relatively young umbrella term "smart city" encompasses concepts and ideas for urban areas that aim to make cities more efficient, reduce environmental impact, and improve the quality of life through the use of cutting-edge technologies. To achieve these goals in rapidly growing urban regions, it requires products, services, processes, and infrastructures that are based on highly integrated and interconnected information and communication technologies.

The Smart Data Innovation Lab (SDIL) is a collaboration between industry and academia, providing a unique laboratory environment that offers unified access to various Big Data and In-Memory technologies on different hardware platforms. This enables the performance of diverse analyses on large and heterogeneous datasets and the development of innovative methods and algorithms for such datasets.

Smart devices are autonomous, intelligent microsystems that are interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT). These smart components are designed to capture specific physical measurements, process them, and transmit the results to central smart devices such as a smartphone.

Enables the automation of transport processes that leverage sensor data and central IT functions. The goal of Smart Logistics is not only to increase efficiency and reduce costs but also to establish digital transport networks that optimize existing capacities and simultaneously reduce burdens on infrastructure and the environment to a socially acceptable level.

According to the Federal Network Agency, the term refers to the area outside the power grid in which energy volumes or associated services are traded between different market participants on the basis of available grid capacity. In the future, in addition to producers, consumers and prosumers, a variety of different service providers could also be active in these markets, such as energy efficiency service providers, aggregators and others.

The measurement and rapid transmission of energy consumption information between the meter and the energy distribution network.

A common practice nowadays is for users to obtain specific software, such as a CRM system or office applications, from the cloud. This type of cloud usage is commonly referred to as the most widespread and was previously known as "Software on Demand."

Sun (Oracle) has developed the Unix operating system Solaris.

A StatefulSet is responsible for managing the deployment and scaling of a set of Pods, while also ensuring the uniqueness and ordering of these Pods. Similar to a Deployment, a StatefulSet manages Pods based on an identical container spec. However, unlike a Deployment, each Pod in a StatefulSet maintains a persistent identity, meaning that these Pods are not interchangeable. If your workload requires storage volumes for persistence, you can use a StatefulSet as part of the solution. Although individual Pods in a StatefulSet are susceptible to failure, the persistent identifiers assigned to each Pod make it easier to match the new Pods to any existing volumes when replacing failed Pods.

Supply Chain Management refers to the management of business processes within the supply chain from raw material suppliers to end consumers. To maximize the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of this supply chain, close collaboration between the involved companies is required. This collaboration is intended to enable optimal design of material, information, and financial flows both within and between the involved companies.
