What’s New in Version 2.2?
Greater Trust and Legal Clarity
Enhanced language and structure across the legal agreements improve clarity and usability for cross-border and cross-sector implementations. A major upgrade includes the legal validity of extended consent-based data usage licences.
Technical Interoperability
The framework supports RESTful APIs and extensible delegation models for straightforward integration with current and future platforms. The iSHARE Trust Framework is aligned with Gaia-X, IDSA, and the Eclipse Data Space Working Group (EDWG).
Built-in Trust Mechanisms
Universal authentication and authorisation protocols ensure participants can verify each other’s identities and share data with confidence.
Dual-Format Documentation
Machine- and human-readable assets allow both developers and legal teams to adopt and implement the framework with ease, supporting fully automated onboarding.
Built by the Community
This version was shaped by continuous collaboration with legal experts, software developers, domain experts, and ecosystem partners. It reflects our open governance model and commitment to a vendor-neutral, global standard.
“We designed iSHARE 2.2 to be the backbone of trusted data sharing on a global scale,” said Rajiv Rajani, Chief Technology Officer of the iSHARE Foundation.
What’s Next? The Road to Version 3.0
The next version will incorporate support for W3C Verifiable Credentials, increasing compatibility with digital wallets and global standards. Our aim: to push interoperability even further.
