Focusing on the generalization of concepts, functionality, and overall processes involved in the creation of a secure 'network of trusted data' , the IDS-RAM resides at a higher abstraction level than common architecture models of concrete software solutions do. The document provides an overview and dedicated architecture specifications.

Hello IDS team.
In the page:
https://docs.internationaldataspaces.org/ids-ram-4/layers-of-the-reference-architecture-model/3-layers-of-the-reference-architecture-model/3-1-business-layer/3_1_2_interaction_of_roles
The UML diagram shows that it is the **Data provider search metadata, and Data consumer publish metadata.**
From my idea, it should be the other direction: **Data provider publish metadata, and Data consumer search metadata.**
please see: ![Diagram](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15314807/208390057-ab394743-7d38-4d4b-afbf-567449da4290.png) [Please correct me if I made a mistake]
In the RMA3.0, the diagram was showing **Data provider publish metadata, and Data consumer search metadata.**
please refer to the paper: **Data provider publish metadata, and Data consumer search metadata.**
