Collibra eFTI4ALL Data Governance PilotCOLLIBRA

Overview

Most eFTI pilots ask whether data can move. Collibra‘s asks whether the data can be trusted, governed and explained once it does. The pilot applies Collibra’s Data Intelligence Platform to electronic freight transport information, treating regulatory provisions as governed assets in their own right: ADR requirements are modelled and linked to reference data such as UN numbers, code sets and code values, and those regulatory concepts are then connected to data elements in transport data models including DATEX II and the eFTI data model.

That structure makes a specific class of problem tractable. For dangerous goods, product-specific requirements can be traced to the applicable regulatory provision and to the data-quality or validation rules that follow from it — so a dataset can be checked against the rule that made it mandatory, not only against a schema. Around this sits a governance layer: a catalogue for organising and retrieving datasets, role-based access control for sensitive transport data, workflow automation for validation and approval, and AI-assisted handling of unstructured files and documents

Status
(summer 2026)

Planning phase — piloting due Q1 2027
  • Establish clear policies for freight data governance.
  • Ensure eFTI data aligns with EU and national transport and customs regulations.
  • Enable seamless data exchange between logistics operators, customs and transport authorities.
  • Protect sensitive transport data through role-based access control.
  • Reduce manual documentation effort and administrative delays.

UC1

Regulatory data access and compliance: ensuring secure customs access to eFTI documentation.

UC2

Multimodal freight data interoperability: enhancing data exchange between operators.

UC3

Data privacy and security compliance: unauthorised data access scenarios and security measures.

UC4

A governed view across the regulatory and data landscape: ADR provisions represented as governed assets and linked to reference data (UN numbers, code sets, code values) and then to data elements in DATEX II and the eFTI data model; for dangerous goods, product-specific requirements connected to the applicable provisions and to data-quality and validation rules.

The pilot’s planning phase begins in Q3 2026, so no results have been reported yet. Its intended outcomes are to demonstrate eFTI data governance capabilities, validate compliance with EU and national regulations, improve data exchange between multimodal stakeholders, strengthen security and access control for sensitive transport data, and reduce manual documentation effort and administrative costs.
