[FEATURE] Data sharing use cases

[lecoqlibre]

I'm creating this issue to list all the use cases we have in mind about data sharing: as a producer, what type of data can I share, to whom?

This is necessary to build our client-client standard. Do you have ideas?

What kinds of actors could access to a producer's data?

• Internal collaborators like an associate
• External collaborators like other producers
• Customers
• Researchers/data scientists
• Marketplaces
  • directory platforms (listing available producers)
  • sale platforms

What types of data a producer might want to share?

• Farm
  • I would like to share publicly the information of my farm like it's name, description, picture, address, phone, mail, website, social networks...
• Catalog
  • I would like to share all the catalog information: it's name, description, catalog items, offers, price...
  • I would like to share only some information like only the catalog items but not the offer/price.

Scenarios

• As a producer I would like to be discoverable on a territorial platform:
  • I want my farm to be listed so customers can find me.
  • I want my farm and catalogs to be listed so customers can find me and see what products I can offer.
• As a producer I would like to sell my products on an other sale platform.
• As a producer I would like to share my data to research partners. I would like my data to be anonymized.

I was considering a more data-centric approach:

• Who is asking for access to the data ?
• What data do I have to share (Classes/Properties) ?
• Which operations do I want to permit on that data (Read/Write/CRUD/get,post,put,patch,delete) ?

If we support that, I'm unclear what use cases we wouldn't be able to support.

I do like the idea of offering anonymisation as a boolean and I'm curious how you're thinking we could support that ? Would we define certain classes/properties as identifying and insist they were anonymised/redacted/omitted ?

There is 1 more UC that FDC has already implemented:

• As a Producer I want to allow a specific user (a Hub) to place Orders for my Products via DFC

There is 1 more UC that FDC has already implemented:

* As a Producer I want to allow a specific user (a Hub) to place Orders for my Products via DFC

This leads to a further UC:

• As a Hub I need to read Orders previously placed from the Producer to ensure I can track & update Orders successfully.

i.e. A Hub needs permission to readOrders, in addition to writeOrders (post/put/patch) for a successful Orders integration.

@datafoodconsortium/standard_maintainers Do we want to offer the possibility to share catalog items but not their attached offers?
