Overview#

The Community of Interest domain provides classification-preserving federated data sharing across organizational boundaries. Designed for defence cloud standard compliance, it enables organizations to share entities under strict multi-level security controls supporting EU, NATO, and TLP classification frameworks.

Key Features#

  • COI lifecycle management with five operational types (intelligence sharing, operational coordination, logistics, situational awareness, joint investigation)
  • Three membership policies: OPEN, APPROVAL_REQUIRED, INVITATION_ONLY
  • Classification-aware data sharing with rank validation across EU, NATO, and TLP frameworks
  • Three-tier access levels: READ_ONLY, READ_WRITE, ADMIN
  • Entity sharing with optional TTL expiration and deduplication
  • Full membership lifecycle with invite, request, approve, and revoke workflows
  • Share lifecycle management with revocation and audit trail
  • Data sovereignty enforcement through classification controls and organizational boundaries

Use Cases#

  1. Multi-national intelligence sharing with classification level enforcement
  2. Joint investigation coordination across law enforcement agencies
  3. Operational coordination with tiered access to shared entities
  4. Federated situational awareness with controlled data dissemination

Integration#

Integrates with the classification framework for rank-based access validation and organizational management for tenant isolation. Supports federated multi-national architecture patterns.
