Workflow: Complete Data Exchange

1. Provider Side:

   • Create Asset with data address
   • Create Policy definition
   • Create Contract definition linking asset to policy

2. Consumer Side:

   • Initiate Contract Negotiation
   • Query negotiations to track state
   • Get Contract Agreement from negotiation
   • Initiate Transfer Process
   • Suspend/resume transfer as needed
   • Get EDR data address for actual data access

Common States

Contract Negotiation States (from negotiation object)

• REQUESTING - Initial request sent
• OFFERED - Offer received
• ACCEPTED - Offer accepted
• AGREED - Agreement reached
• VERIFIED - Agreement verified
• TERMINATED - Negotiation ended

Transfer Process States

• INITIAL - Transfer initiated
• PROVISIONING - Resources being provisioned
• PROVISIONED - Resources ready
• REQUESTING - Request sent to provider
• STARTED - Transfer started
• SUSPENDED - Transfer paused
• COMPLETED - Transfer finished
• TERMINATED - Transfer ended
• ERROR - Transfer failed

Error Handling

Errors return with status codes:

• 400 - Request malformed
• 404 - Resource not found
• 409 - Conflict (e.g., asset already exists)
• 500 - Internal server error

Response format:

json

[{ "message": "Error description", "path": "field/path", "invalidValue": "bad-value" }]
