Why National Node Net exists
Exchanging data between organisations remains unnecessarily difficult.
Before data can even move, organisations often spend months agreeing legal arrangements, defining interfaces and establishing trust. Once those agreements are in place, the technical implementation is frequently just as challenging. Every organisation exposes different APIs, uses different identity providers and adopts different approaches to authentication, authorisation and policy enforcement.
The result is a landscape of one-off integrations that are expensive to build, difficult to govern and hard to reuse.
National Node Net provides a common platform that reduces this complexity. Organisations deploy compatible infrastructure, register within a shared network and expose data and services using common interfaces and policies. This allows applications to discover available resources and determine what can be accessed automatically, while organisations retain control over their own systems and data.
A common platform for secure data sharing between organisations
National Node Net is an open-source platform that makes it easier for organisations to exchange data securely.
It provides the shared infrastructure needed to deploy interoperable services, register them within a trusted network, discover data and services offered by other organisations, and exchange information using consistent, machine-readable policies.
Rather than building bespoke integrations between every pair of organisations, National Node Net provides a common foundation that works across organisational and cloud boundaries.
