The Mobility Data Space dataspace profile: the configuration contract an EDC connector satisfies in order to participate in the MDS.
The connector distribution itself lives in mds-edc.
| Version | Specification | Status |

The repository mirrors the URI space of the profile, so every published artefact sits at the path its identifier resolves to:
2026/1/mds-2026-1.md the profile specification
2026/1/policy/context.jsonld policy JSON-LD context
2026/1/credentials/context.jsonld credentials JSON-LD context
2026/1/credentials/mds-credentials-2026-1.md credential specification
2026/1/credentials/*.schema.json credential JSON Schemas
examples/ non-normative examples
A future profile version is added as a sibling directory (2027/1/, …); published versions are never edited in place.
Everything is addressed through the w3id.org namespace mobility-dataspace, which redirects to the GitHub Pages site built from this repository. Consumers MUST use the w3id.org identifiers, never the github.io targets — the latter are an implementation detail and may move.

Context and schema identifiers name documents and redirect with 302. Namespace identifiers — and the vocabulary terms minted below them, such as .../policy/ParticipantId — name concepts rather than documents, so they redirect with 303 See Other to the specification that describes them.
The redirect rules live in perma-id/w3id.org under mobility-dataspace/.htaccess. Changing where an identifier points is a pull request against that repository.
