[0003] WITHIN DECENTRAL NETWORKS

[0004] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0005] The invention relates to the field of sustainability, in particular to the field of sustainable industrialization. The disclosure relates to methods, systems and computer-elements for generating - in response to a trigger - digital asset(s) associated with specific chemical product(s) produced or producible by a production and for providing the generated digital asset(s) for access via a decentral network, to methods, systems and computer-elements for requesting consumption of a digital asset associated with such chemical product(s) at one or more data consumer(s), and to such chemical product(s) associated with the generated digital asset(s).

[0006] TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0007] In the supply and production of products multiple regulatory requirements need to be met, which differ depending on the product. To fulfil such regulatory requirements, data on such products may need to be exchanged between different participants involved in the production and use of such products. Such data may be exchanged in a secure and controlled manner within a decentral network connecting different participants involved in the production and / or recycling of the product. Owing to the decentralization, offering of such data to data consumers and discovery of data available within the decentral network by data consumers requires cumbersome querying of the decentral network. Hence, there is a need to simplify offering of data to data consumers and discovery of available data within the decentral network. In addition, there is a need to allow for simplified triggering of generation of data required by data consumers.

[0025] Any disclosure, embodiments and examples described herein relate to the methods, the apparatuses, systems, the chemical products and computer elements lined out above and below. Advantageously, the benefits provided by any of the embodiments and examples equally apply to all other embodiments and examples.

[0026] EMBODIMENTS

[0027] In the following, embodiments of the present disclosure will be outlined by ways of embodiments and / or examples. It is to be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to said embodiments and / or examples.

[0028] To enable or improve the generation and exchange of digital assets associated with specific chemical product(s), such as curable composition(s), polymer composition(s), aqueous polymer composition(s), machine fluid(s), coating material(s), chemical product(s) for activation of metal surfaces, corrosion protection product(s), cleaning agent(s), conversion coating material(s), insulating coating material(s), cutting fluid(s), release agent(s), coagulating agent(s), chemical product(s) comprising a structured coating layer, olefin composition(s), formulation additive(s), care composition ingredient(s), additive(s) for industrial composition(s), plastic additive(s), aroma chemical(s), pharmaceutical active ingredient(s), pharmaceutical excipient(s), food supplement(s), unsaturated chemical compound(s), chemical compound(s) comprising at least one carbonyl group, alkane(s), alcohol(s), ether(s), oxirane(s), aliphatic or cycloaliphatic chloride(s), organic phosphine(s), organic phosphate(s), sulfonic acid(s), nitrogen containing chemical compound(s) and / or cosmetic ingredient(s), used to produce one or more product(s), efficient offering of available digital assets for consumption as well as efficient triggering of generation of such digital assets is crucial. However, the discovery of digital assets available for consumption within the decentral network is cumbersome since it requires querying of the decentral network to locate the data provider providing the digital asset as well as locating the digital asset. In addition, data providers are limited in offering generated digital assets to data consumers via the decentral network since this requires knowledge of endpoint(s) of decentral consumer network node able to receive and process the generated digital assets.

[0029] By orchestrating via the orchestration component the communication between the local data provider component(s) and the local data consumer component(s) according to the local communication protocol, data exchange between decentral network nodes of the decentral network, such as the decentral provider network node(s) connected to the local data provider component(s) and the decentral consumer network node(s) connected to the local data consumer component(s), may be controlled and / or monitored. The data exchange may be monitored and / or controlled by the orchestration component based on requests provided by the local data provider component(s) via the local communication protocol to the orchestration component and / or requests received by the local data provider component(s) from the orchestration component based on a trigger by the local data consumer component(s). This way, more efficient sharing of digital assets associated with the chemical products may be enabled while ensuring full data sovereignty of the data owner of the digital assets, such as the chemical product producer, by using the decentral network protocol for exchanging the digital assets.

[0030] By providing requests for consumption of generated digital assets by the local data provider component(s) in an efficient yet secure way via the local communication protocol and the orchestration component to local data consumer component(s), inefficient discovery of accessible digital assets within the decentral network via decentral consumer network node(s) associated with the data consumer can be avoided, reducing the energy consumption associated with the discovery of 241375

[0031] 10 accessible digital assets within the decentral network and hence also the environmental impact associated with the transfer of digital assets within the decentral network. This way, digital product passport(s) associated with a product produced using the chemical products may be generated in a more efficient and reliable manner, ensuring a higher data quality of the data included in the digital product passport. A higher data quality may allow a more efficient processing of the product and / or a more efficient production of further products based on the product using the data included in the digital product passport(s).

[0032] By generation and providing digital assets by local data provider component(s) in response to a trigger received via the orchestration component from local data consumer component(s), digital assets required by the data consumers may be reliably and efficiently generated and provided for access via the decentral network by decentral consumer network node(s) connected to the local data consumer component(s). This way, a high data quality of the digital product passports associated with the products may be ensured, allowing to improve the processing of the products and / or production of further products based on the data included in the digital product passports. By providing requests for consumption of the generated digital assets by the local data provider component(s) via the local communication protocol and the orchestration component to the local data consumer component(s) triggering the generation and provisioning of the digital assets, inefficient discovery of the generated digital assets within the decentral network by the data consumer may be avoided, allowing more efficient transfer of the digital assets and hence more efficient generation of the digital product passports.

[0033] Various units, entities, nodes or other computing components may be described as “configured to” perform a task or tasks. Configured to shall recite structure meaning “having circuitry that” performs the task or tasks on operation. The units, circuits, entities, nodes or other computing components can be configured to perform the task even when the unit / circuit / component is not operating. The units, circuits, entities, nodes or other computing components that form the structure corresponding to “configured to” may include hardware circuits and / or memory storing program instructions executable to implement the operation. The units, circuits, entities, nodes or other computing components may be described as performing a task or tasks, for convenience in the description. Such descriptions shall be interpreted as including the phrase “configured to.”

[0034] In general, the methods, apparatuses, systems, computer elements, nodes or other computing components described herein may include memory, software components and hardware components.

[0070] The decentral asset identifier(s) may comprise any unique identifier uniquely associated with the physical entity of the chemical product and the chemical product data points and / or the property data points. Decentral asset identifier(s) in this context may refer to the use of the asset identifier(s) for exchange of the digital assets via the decentral network protocol. The decentral asset identifier(s) may relate to local identifiers such as unique locators and / or decentral identifier(s) as defined by the decentral network. The decentral identifier(s) may include Universally Unique I Dentifier(s) (UUID(s)) and / or Digital I Dentifier(s) (DID(s)).

Via the decentral asset identifier(s) and the unique association with the physical entity of the chemical product and the chemical product data points and / or the property data points, access to such data points may be controlled by the data owner of such data points, such as the chemical product producer. This contrasts with central authority schemes, where identifiers are provided by such central authority and access to data is controlled by such central authority.

[0071] The decentral asset identifier(s) may be uniquely associated with the chemical product or the physical entity of the chemical product, e.g. as packaged for transportation to the chemical product consumer.

The one or more authorization mechanism(s) may be associated with or linked to the decentral asset identifier(s) related to digital assets to be accessed and / or exchanged. The decentral configuration allows for more efficient use of computing resources and strengthens control by each data owner of the decentral network.

[0075] The exchange of digital assets may be orchestrated via one or more data pipeline(s) configured by the tenants. The data pipelines may be associated with the configuration data. The configuration data may be associated with the configuration of the data pipeline. The configuration data may relate to or be stored in local storage environment(s) included in the tenants. The configuration data may relate to processing of data, such as chemical product data and digital assets. The configuration data may relate to decentral participant identifier(s) associated with the decentral provider network node(s) or the decentral consumer network node(s) of the decentral network, respectively.

[0076] The configuration data may include a configuration data identifier uniquely identifying the configuration data within the respective local data provider compute and / or storage environment and data pipeline configuration data associated with a configuration of a data pipeline for requesting consumption of digital asset(s) associated with chemical product(s) via the decentral network protocol by the one or more decentral consumer network node(s) connected to the one or more local data consumer component(s). The data pipeline may be configured for generating digital assets(s) to be consumed by the one or more decentral consumer network node(s) via the decentral network protocol. The data pipeline may relate to a local data source associated with the respective local data provider compute and / or storage environment. The local data source may store chemical product data used to generate the digital asset(s) exchanged via the decentral network protocol.

[0077] The configuration data may include a configuration data identifier uniquely identifying the configuration data within the respective local data consumer compute and / or storage environment, and data pipeline configuration data associated with a configuration of a data pipeline for processing digital asset(s) associated with chemical product(s) consumed by the one or more decentral consumer network node(s) from decentral provider network node(s) connected to a local asset storage of the local data provider compute and / or storage environment generating the digital asset(s). The data pipeline may be configured 241375

[0078] 19 for processing digital asset(s) consumed via the decentral network protocol. The data pipeline may relate to a local target data storage associated with or included in the local data consumer compute and / or storage environment. The local target data storage may store processed digital assets. The one or more data pipeline(s) configured by the one or more tenants may be orchestrated by the orchestration component. The data pipelines may be configured for generating digital assets to be provided and / or consumed via the decentral network protocol. The data pipelines may be configured for consuming digital assets and / or for processing digital assets consumed via the decentral network protocol.

[0079] The orchestration component may be associated with a configuration data base. The configuration data base may provide access to mapping data and respective one or more data model(s) provided by the one or more local data consumer component(s) for collecting properties of the chemical product. The configuration data base may store the mapping data and one or more data model(s) provided by the one or more local data consumer component(s) for collecting properties of the chemical product. The configuration data base may store the mapping data in key value pairs including pairs of local identifiers and decentral participant identifiers per tenant. The mapping data may further include endpoints of decentral provider network nodes connected to the one or more local data provider component(s), names of participants associated with local data provider compute and / or storage environments and / or names of participants associated with the local data consumer compute and / or storage environments.

[0080] The orchestration component may receive requests from the one or more local data consumer component(s) for generating digital asset(s) to be provided via the decentral network protocol of decentral network. In addition or alternatively, the orchestration component may receive requests from the one or more local data provider component(s) for consuming generated digital asset(s) via the decentral network protocol of decentral network. The request for generating digital asset(s) to be provided may include local identifier(s) associated with the one or more local data consumer component(s) and decentral participant identifier(s) associated with decentral data provider network node(s) connected to the local data provider compute and / or storage environment requested to generate the digital asset(s). The request for consuming generated digital asset(s) may include local identifier(s) associated with the one or more local data provider component(s) and decentral participant identifier(s) associated with decentral data consumer network node(s) to be accessing the generated digital asset. Based on the local identifier(s) and the decentral participant identifier(s) included in the requests the orchestration component may identify the tenant the request was received by and the tenant(s) the request is to be provided to. Depending on the envisaged data transfer to be executed via the decentral network, the orchestration component orchestrates the data pipeline setup in the local environments of the tenants. The exchange of the actual digital assets is not executed via the orchestration component and the orchestration component does not have access to such digital assets. Hence the digital assets are transferred only via a peer-to-peer communication between decentral network nodes of the decentral network under full control of the data owner of the digital assets. The orchestration component only enables communication between tenants with respect to requests for digital assets or offers of digital assets and ensures that the digital asset(s) transferred via the decentral network adhere(s) to the data structure(s) and content the provider and / or recipient of such data expect. This way the digital assets associated with the chemical products are kept under full control of the respective data owner of such digital assets, such as the chemical product producer, while enabling secure and efficient transfer of such digital assets via the decentral network based on the orchestration of requests from tenants by the orchestration component. This way, discovery of endpoint(s) of respective decentral network node(s) and decentral asset identifier(s) of digital asset(s) to request the digital asset(s) and / or to offer digital asset(s) by querying the decentral network and configuration of such decentral network node(s) to process such data offer(s) can be avoided. This reduces the number of data transactions performed within the decentral network, reducing latency and energy consumption and hence also the environmental impact associated with the digital asset transfers via the decentral network.
