home > Ecosystem > Discovery service

The discovery service is a role in a MaaS ecosystem, telling at least where everyone operates ('yellow pages'). This role can be fulfilled by a National Access Point (in Europe).

Optional roles

More advanced versions of a discovery service also provide functionality (roles) about:

  • governance (are participants (MPs/TOs) allowed to operate in their claimed area)
  • authentication (validate a requesting party; is it really who it is claiming to be)
  • authorization ("how owns the data and who is allowed to use it")
  • registration of other MaaS ecosystem roles (Clearing houses, Personal Data Stores, other discovery services, etc.)

These functions can be added, since they are closely intertwined with the registration of MaaS participants.
