FACIS empowers European organizations to build secure and connected data ecosystems with ease through innovative tools. These data ecosystems bring together people, technologies, and governance frameworks to ensure that data can be collected, shared, transformed, and used to generate insights and drive decisions. Through its pre-built Federated Architecture Patterns (FAPs) – modular and reusable blueprints – FACIS enables seamless data collaboration across partners and platforms. With FAPs, serving as construction plans for your digital infrastructure, and low-code orchestration tools offering a visual interface to connect applications and teams, FACIS enables seamless collaboration, faster implementation, and greater agility on the digital transformation journey.
The following FAP ideas have already been pre-defined by FACIS project team:
1. The Decentralised Catalogue Management FAP
2. The IoT and Artificial Intelligence FAP

This FAP tackles a core challenge in federated data ecosystems – fragmented and siloed service catalogues:
- It allows organizations to discover, compare, and integrate digital and cloud services across different providers without creating a central dependency through connecting multiple catalogues.
- The result is greater visibility of available services, reduced vendor lock-in, and a more trusted, scalable foundation for cross-sector and cross-border collaboration. Discover full details of this FAP ›

This FAP showcases how organizations can create a secure, end-to-end data pipeline — from IoT data collection to AI-driven insights.
The FAP demonstrates a federated data pipeline with IoT sensing and data collection, data transfer via data space connectors, data aggregation with a data lake and AI-based data analysis for dashboard vizualisation.
- By enabling seamless data transfer, aggregation, and analysis across domains, it helps organizations unlock real-time insights while maintaining data sovereignty and trust. This approach lays the groundwork for scalable, federated data ecosystems that power smarter, more connected operations. Discover full details of this FAP ›
