* Changing the database to a triple store solves this problem
* Work in progress by Benedikt Arnold in the Datenraum Kultur
* Do we want a merge request with these changes?
* Query Language would change from OpenCypher to SPARQL-star
* Another possibility would be to offer both solutions
* Benedikt will demonstrate the implementation in a future meeting and show how to set it up
* Then we can discuss further steps
* What needs to be changed
* Do the changes solve the existing issues?
* Do we need two separate solutions, or is it feasible to completely switch?

* Hack session name: Upgrading the XFSC Federated Catalogue to the Loire release (Ontology, Credentials, Signatures)
* Summary:
* What is the XFSC Catalogue? – The [Federated Catalogue](https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/xfsc/cat/fc-service) of [XFSC (Eclipse Cross Federation Services Components)](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.xfsc) is the Gaia-X Federated Catalogue implementation with the most comprehensive support for validating credentials against schemas and querying the graph structure of claims in credentials. It is used, among others, in the [Gaia-X 4 Future Mobility lighthouse project](https://www.gaia-x4futuremobility.de/) and serves as a foundation of [Simpl-Open](https://simpl-programme.ec.europa.eu/), thus will play a key role the upcoming Common European Data Spaces.
* What is the problem? – The XFSC Catalogue has so far been compatible with the Gaia-X Tagus release. Its developers' community has assessed and understood [what needs to be done to upgrade it to Loire](https://gitlab.eclipse.org/groups/eclipse/xfsc/cat/-/epics/6). Loire changes that impact the XFSC Catalogue include renamed concepts and new standards/formats for credentials and signatures.

Loire changes that impact the XFSC Catalogue include renamed concepts and new standards/formats for credentials and signatures.
* What needs to be done? – Some of these changes require a deep re-engineering of parts of the Catalogue, including the credential verification pipeline, the database schema and the API endpoints. (maybe one more sentence, which is more precise.)
* Knowledge required for the audience to participate (not each participant will have to understand everything, but the participants as a whole should have this knowledge):
* familiarity with the [Gaia-X Ontology](https://w3id.org/gaia-x/)
* (Take Ontology from Gaia-X registry? When there are questions in the direction of the Gaia-X Lab Yassir Sellami is the new contact person)
* familiarity with the [Verifiable Credentials Data Model v2.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/)
* Enterprise-style Java software development
* Knowledge of JWT
* … (please add further, more precise technical skills)
* While part of the team will do the main implementation, further support is needed to provide test cases.
* Name, picture and short resume of the hack leaders

* Benedikt will create an Eclipse Account and then Paul will talk to Lauresha to grant Benedikt and Lucas Developer Roles in this Repository
