MeData Service

MeData Service is the core of the Mobile SDK. It collects MeData values from various sources according to the MeData Definitions managed on Orchestrator. Most of other Mobile SDK services are triggered or effected by MeData Service.

info

Mobile SDK performs background network access to fetch MeData Definitions from DataSapien Mobile Backend.

Data Vault​

MeData collected by Mobile SDK is allways stored on user device. Data is stored in a platform encrypted and sandboxed data base that is called the Data Vault. MeData Service provides methods to query and consume stored MeData in Data Vault.

MeData Collection​

Mobile SDK collects data from various sources: Native data available via mobile device and the OS, external APIs via Scripts, identity related data from VC (Verifiable Credentials) and self reported data in the form of Question answers.

  1. For Native sourced collection, MeData Service executes the code to access mobile device & OS related data
  2. For Script sourced collection; MeData Service executes the script authored on Orchestrator during MeData Definition creation
  3. For VC sourced collection, MeData Service accesses targeted VC from Wallet Service
  4. For Question sourced collection, some kind of UI is required. This UI can be anything from a dedicated screen that displays a list of questions or simple a popup window. Mobile SDK provides its own UI or the underlying structure to let you UI display your UI in your host app..
