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.
