According to the NUIS digital blueprint, the NUIS principles are closely aligned with the India Enterprise Architecture (IndEA) framework. Similarly, IUDX aligns well with the IndEA design principles that are relevant to a data exchange layer.
Of the eight IndEA reference models, the following are most applicable to IUDX:
Technology Reference Model
Integration Reference Model Principles
IUDX adheres to the broad principles defined within these reference models. In particular, IUDX aligns with the following IndEA design principles.
Data Reference Model Principles
IUDX enables secure, controlled, and consent-based data sharing across stakeholders.
The platform enforces robust access-control mechanisms, auditability, and secure-by-design practices.
Common Vocabularies and Data Definitions
IUDX promotes standard data models, common vocabularies, and reusable taxonomies to ensure consistency and interoperability.
Technology Reference Model Principles
Technology-independent Architecture
IUDX is designed to be technology agnostic, supporting diverse applications, programming languages, and deployment environments.
Future-proof Architecture
The modular, extensible, and cloud-native design of IUDX enables continuous enhancement and evolution.
IUDX adopts open APIs, open data formats, and global standards such as OIDC and REST-based interfaces.
The platform is optimized for cloud deployment and benefits from the elasticity, manageability, and scalability offered by cloud infrastructure.
High availability is ensured through federated architecture, scalable microservices, and Kubernetes-based deployment practices.
Integration Reference Model Principles
Openness and Transparency
Open APIs, open data models, and auditable transactions foster transparency.
Interoperability
Standardized protocols and consistent data models enable seamless integration across systems.
Data Portability
The design supports portable data formats and reusable models, making it easy for stakeholders to migrate or reuse data.
Security Principles
Data Privacy and Confidentiality
IUDX incorporates consent-based access controls, secure API protocols, encrypted communication, and strict identity and authorization mechanisms to safeguard data privacy.
