A short percentage-based assessment of the qualitative benefit of the recent media release by the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions on beta version release of X-Road 7.

Editor’s Note: X-Road® is open-source software and ecosystem solution that provides unified and secure data exchange between organizations. X-Road is released under the MIT open source license and is available free of charge. Specifically, X-Road implements a set of standard features to support and facilitate data exchange and ensures confidentiality, integrity, and interoperability between data exchange parties. The basic idea of X-Road is that information systems do not exchange data directly with each other. Instead, information systems are connected through additional, standardized access points (Security Server) that implement the same technical specifications and therefore, can communicate with each other. The capability enabled by X-Road may be interesting to legal, business, and information technology professionals in the eDiscovery ecosystem as they consider data exchange interoperability and security.

Media Release

The first beta version of X-Road® 7 “Unicorn” has been released. The beta version of the Security Server software provides a sneak peek to the X-Road 7 look and feel.

The beta is a visually enhanced version that provides the same features as the latest X-Road 6.25.0 release. Beta versions with new features will be released in 2021 before the first production release.

X-Road is being developed iteratively using agile software development methods. All the changes in X-Road 7 will not be included in the first production version but in various minor versions over time.

X-Road is open-source software and ecosystem solution that provides unified and secure data exchange between organizations. X-Road is a digital public good verified by the Digital Public Goods Alliance, and it’s released under the MIT open source license and is available free of charge.
