"Guiding Principles - Service Provider" - clarification and balanced description #21

Closed annamariaschleimer closed 7 months ago

annamariaschleimer commented 1 year ago

Hello,

when reading the role model section and the part about service providers, it is noteworthy that it could be improved.

https://docs.internationaldataspaces.org/idsa-rulebook-v2/idsa-rulebook/2_guiding_principles

Besides checking the content if it is really necessary to distinguish between those three roles of intermediary, aggregator, and operator, the presentation could be clarified and balanced. It is not easy to follow. My suggestion would be to structure it more and provide for each term:

Also the current image visualizing the aggregator is not quite clear to me, I would suggest to go for a layered approach to visualize a technology stack and then outline which parts belong to the respective service provider and which parts to the participant.

As mentioned above, it is not clear for me if the three categories of intermediary, aggregator, operator are only there for illustrative purpose, or if they are now fixed categories. It could be more clear on how these categories may overlap or exclude each other. Currently, the description is also not very balanced, e.g., one sentence for the aggregator, a complete small paragraph with bulletpoint list for the intermediary, and the operator is completely missing.

Thx @AScFH for the comment, we are discussing this topic and will come back to this issue in the June meeting after analyzing your thoughts. We will combine this with our task to align with the DSSC Glossary.
