# Communication

{% hint style="info" %}
*This part of the iSHARE Trust Framework is considered normative and is therefore compliant with RFC 2119.*
{% endhint %}

This section describes the agreements concerning communication about and with the iSHARE brand that are applicable to all Data Space Governance Bodies, Adhering and Certified Parties.

It includes the guidelines for using iSHARE's name, brand, and iSHARE logo.

### Usage of the iSHARE name and brand <a href="#communication-usageofisharenameandbrand" id="communication-usageofisharenameandbrand"></a>

The following communication rules apply when using the iSHARE name and brand:

* All participating parties MUST use the visuals and logos as provided by the iSHARE Style Guide and MUST apply the notation and terminology as described in the Glossary. This creates clarity in the communication and brand image of iSHARE.
* The term iSHARE is used as a brand for machine-to-machine and human-to-machine iSHARE services.
* Participating parties within the iSHARE network MAY use the phrase ‘powered by iSHARE’ to support their own branding;
* If iSHARE is integrated in human-to-machine software, the iSHARE logo SHOULD be used in user interfaces;
* Data Space Governance Bodies, Adhering- and Certified Parties COULD use standard texts, key messages and other textual and visual elements as provided in the communication toolkit provided by the Scheme Owner.

### Usage of the iSHARE logo <a href="#communication-usageofisharelogo" id="communication-usageofisharelogo"></a>

The following basic principles apply to the use of the iSHARE logo:

* Please use enough white space around the logo.
* Do not alter the colouring of the logo (or use the black and white logo).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://framework.ishare.eu/detailed-descriptions/operational/communication.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
