Core principles

The BDI has seven core principles. These form the basis for the framework.

Seven core principles of the BDI

  • Connect physical to digital
    The BDI is used for the ‘live’ exchange of data regarding daily processes.
  • Event-driven architecture
    If anything changes relating to a transport route or stock, or if an order is added, a message is sent out immediately.
  • Dynamic data
    Sharing data that is time-sensitive and can be created ad hoc, so it must always be up to date.
  • Zero trust
    To improve mutual trust, each party registers with local subnetworks (BDI associations).
  • Data at the source
    The data owner decides who has access to each piece of data and which conditions apply.
  • Local decision-making
    Subnetworks have room for local habits, agreements and legislation.
  • Coherent security
    The security of various components and protocols is properly matched.
