Booost Inc., a company supporting corporate Sustainability Transformation (SX) through its market-leading 'Sustainability ERP' and advocacy for the 'Sustainability 2026 Problem,' announced an update to its supply chain data collaboration platform, 'booost Data EX-PF.' This update aligns with the latest version of the 'Open Data Spaces Protocols (ODP),' a set of documentation defining technical specifications and standard operations for ensuring interoperability of distributed data management technologies, based on the 'ODS-RAM (Open Data Spaces Reference Architecture Model)' promoted by the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA) and industry leaders.
With this update, 'booost Data EX-PF' further strengthens data sovereignty, protection of trade secrets, and interoperability in cross-enterprise data collaboration, referencing ODP requirements. The company will continue to utilize ODP to support Japanese enterprises in complying with global environmental regulations, providing supply chain data collaboration functions compliant with WBCSD/PACT data models.
■ Background
Driven primarily by the EU, compliance with environmental regulations such as CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) and ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) is accelerating, requiring companies to ensure data collaboration and traceability across their entire supply chain.
Managing and proving environmental impact information at the product level necessitates data exchange among multiple parties, including internal departments, suppliers, logistics providers, and partners. Consequently, establishing secure mechanisms for sharing data—while protecting trade secrets and managing data access permissions—is a critical challenge.
In Japan, the IPA and industry leaders are promoting 'Open Data Spaces (ODS).' The newly released 'ODS-RAM 2nd Edition' clarifies architectural requirements for ensuring data sovereignty, reliability, and interoperability, providing concrete implementation guidelines for cross-enterprise data collaboration. ODP is the documentation group defining technical specifications and standard operations for this interoperability; with the release of ODS-RAM 2nd Edition, ODP now includes the implementation of Discovery Search (L4).
■ Update Overview
'booost Data EX-PF' is a data exchange platform for securely sharing sustainability-related information between companies. The latest version now supports 'Metadata Exchange' and 'Discovery Search,' detailed in the latest ODP, enabling connected application vendors to more easily develop data exchange applications, including those leveraging generative AI.
■ Future Prospects
Booost plans to integrate the features of its 'booost Sustainability' ERP with 'booost Data EX-PF' to advance PoC (Proof of Concept) and full-scale offerings for companies requiring supply chain traceability and PCF (Product Carbon Footprint) integration. The company will also expand applications to other areas of global data space utilization, such as environmental certificates, renewable energy, and recycled material management, to further support Japanese enterprises in advancing SX and enhancing corporate value.
