How to configure an asset selector?

Modified on Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 at 4:43 PM

As a data provider of a decentralised data offering with EDC Connector, you are able to

  • add the asset selector in the contract definition

  • define selection criteria to identify which assets in your EDC Connector are included in this offering

The asset selector works like a “filter” in your EDC connector, to select assets



The asset selector uses an “AND” operator for conditions included in it.

i.e. file type = json + file name with the word “Lyon”

If you want to make a “OR” operator possible for your future data acquirers, create different asset selectors they can acquire in the same data offering.


edc:operandLeft: property of the asset
edc:operator: operator from the following list: =, !=, in, like, ilike, contains, < (ilike = insensitive like, no difference between upper and lower case)
edc:operandRight: compared value


Asset selector: Get all json files


Asset selector: Get all json files that have 2025 in their name
