Introduction of classification-based access model
Summary
Currently Enquiry Services Data is only available to users whose roles and purposes for access are detailed within the Data Access Matrix (DAM). RECCo has undertaken a project to look at REC controlled data sources and created a Metadata Catalogue based on a Data Classification Model. This details the data items along with descriptions, identification of the associated data, roles, responsibilities, and classification. The output of this work will be utilised to improve access to Enquiry Services Data by making certain data items (defined as Always Open) easily available to everyone and simplifying the approval process for data items which can be made available if certain conditions have been met.

Latest Update
21/11/2025 - Following a review of the impact assessments received for the technical solution required to deliver R0148, taking into account the timelines, costs and the pending decision on the Evolution of the Enquiry Services, a positive business case cannot be demonstrated at this time. RECCo have, therefore, made the decision to withdraw R0148 and look at how the technical objectives can be met through the Evolution of the Enquiry Services. The adoption window has closed.

Problem Statement
Currently the REC has a focus on role-based access to data items within the Enquiry Services as detailed in Schedule 12 – Data Access. However, a system and process where data items are released by virtue of the data item is needed.
Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer, I want Market Participants to have appropriate data access so that I can benefit from improved product and service offerings.
- As a Market Participant, I want the processes that grant data access to be simplified and adaptable so that valid data use cases are addressed quickly.
