Offering template
Offering template maybe seen as standard contract for particular service, where some parameters are variable per Agent. Offering template shipped with service module. Each service module has unique offering template. Both Agent and Client have identical offering template, when choose to use same service module.
Offering template - is JSON schema that includes:
Offering schema - offering fields to be filled by Agent
Core fields - fields that common for any service. They are required for proper Privatix core operation. They are generic and doesn't contain any service specifics.
Service custom fields - (aka additional parameters) any fields that needed for particular service operation. They do not processed by Privatix core, but passed to Privatix adapter for any custom logic.
UI schema - schema that can be used by GUI to display fields for best user experience
Each Offering template has unique hash. Any offering always includes in its body hash of corresponding offering template. That's how offering is linked to template and related service module.
When Client receives offering, he checks that:
Offering template with noted hash exists in Client's database
Offering message passes validation according to offering template
Such validation ensures, that Agent and Client both has:
exactly same offering template
offering is properly filled according to offering template schema
