Licenses

In the context of the iSHARE Framework 'Licenses' and 'Conditions of Exchange' are equal and can be used interchangeably. In the iSHARE Terms of Use they are referred to as 'Conditions of Exchange'.

Licenses allow an Entitled Party to explicitly specify what a Service Consumer is allowed to do with the consumption of a service or with received data. The licenses are included in the delegation evidence and are, in this way, applied to specific authorisations. Since all iSHARE participants have signed the terms of use and agree to the underlying scheme rules, participants are legally obliged to comply with the license conditions. In case of any violations, participants can appeal to each other based on the provided licenses.

The licenses as maintained by iSHARE on https://licenses.ishare.eu, serve as a foundational set provided by iSHARE. Data spaces may extend this set with additional licenses, provided they ensure appropriate legal backing for any additions, such as incorporating them into relevant agreements.

iSHARE licenses are categorised into the following categories:

• General

• Country

• Industry

• Certification

Licenses can be combined using logical operators.
