Within the DSGO, subscriptions are managed in simple phases. In the figure below, the different phases in the lifecycle of a subscription are presented. The phase that a subscription is in is indicated in the status field of a subscription resource. The table below gives a description of each phase, and describes the behaviour of a subscription in the phase.
Note that in the future, in the further development of the trust framework it is deemed necessary to increase the functionality of subscriptions, the lifecycle may be further expanded with additional phases.
Status | Description |
| The data service consumer has subscribed to the defined events and will receive notifications from the data service provider in accordance with the subscription as defined by the data service provider. |
| Due to a wide range of possible actions by either the data service consumer or data service provider, the subscription has been deactivated. This can occur for example if the subscription has expired or been cancelled by the data service consumer. |
