Contract

This is a JSON-LD compliant, linked-data schema that specifies a generic multi-party, digitally signed Contract between a set of participants. based on the vocabulary defined in the @context. By default, it is the most generic form of contract i.e beckn:Contract. However, based on the mapping being used in @context, it could take values like retail:Order, mobility:Reservation, healthcare:Appointment, and so on, which will be defined as sub-classes of beckn:Contract. Alternate description A digitally agreed commitment between two or more participants governing the exchange of economic or non-economic value. Contract is the canonical contract object in the generalized Beckn v2.1 protocol. It replaces the commerce-specific Order construct as the canonical transaction object at the API layer. A Contract binds: - Commitments (what is agreed) - Consideration (value promised) - Performance (how execution occurs) - Settlements (how consideration is discharged) The model is domain-neutral and supports commerce, hiring, energy markets, carbon exchanges, data access, mobility, subscriptions, and other use cases.
