38. Federated Catalogues¶
The goal of the Federated Catalogue is to: - enable Consumers to find best-matching offerings and to monitor them for relevant changes in the offerings. - enable Producers to promote their offerings while keeping full control of the level of visibility and privacy of their offerings. - enable Service Composition by including and publishing Service Descriptions, conformant to the Gaia-X Schema, that contain structured service attributes required to compose services. - avoid a gravity effect with a lock-out and lock-in effect around a handful of catalogue instances.
