Our
Framework
The iSHARE Trust Framework puts data rights holders in control: they decide who may access their data, for what purpose and on what terms — and delegate that access explicitly, while the data stays at the source.
The framework brings together a full set of specifications and agreements — functional, legal, operational and technical — so that access granted once is recognised by every participant, in any environment. Data rights holders keep governance over their data; data users get one standardised way to prove who they are and what they may access.
iSHARE Roles
Roles within the framework ensure that a single legal entity can perform multiple functions, while the interface specification always promotes possible federation. For example, creating a seamless integration of roles. Despite this, all APIs to the Data Provider and the Authorization Registry are similarly exposed.
