EUDI Wallet ARF actor mapping
This page maps iSHARE roles to the closest actor terms used in the EUDI Wallet Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF). The mapping is only applicable in wallet-based interaction patterns (e.g., a service requests/receives attributes from an EUDI Wallet). It is not intended as a general-purpose crosswalk between iSHARE and data space initiatives already covered on the Role Nomenclature page.
Service Provider
Relying Party, Relying Party Instance
When the Service Provider requests/receives PID or attestations from a Wallet Unit to deliver a service.
Service Consumer
User (often: Wallet User)
When the consumer interacts using a Wallet Unit (directly or via a solution acting on the user's behalf).
Human Service Consumer
Wallet User
The human actor controlling/using the Wallet Unit in the interaction flow.
Identity Provider
PID Provider and/or Attestation Provider
Depends on what is issued/managed: PID (identity) vs attestations (attributes).
Participant Registry
Registrar (e.g., for relying parties); related Trusted List concepts
Only for wallet-ecosystem registration/listing (not a full equivalent of iSHARE participant lifecycle governance).
Certified Party
Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) (closest concept)
Only in the sense of conformity assessment/certification used in the EUDI Wallet ecosystem.
Trust Anchor
Trust Anchor
Same term in ARF; used for anchors that support verification/trust decisions in wallet interactions.
The following iSHARE roles are primarily data-space governance/federation roles out of scope for wallet interaction actor mapping (see Glossary) :
Scheme Owner
Data Space Governance Body
Authorisation Registry
