Open Data Product Standard (ODPS)

A comprehensive framework for defining and managing data products

What is ODPS?

The Open Data Product Standard (ODPS) is a comprehensive framework for defining, managing, and sharing data products. ODPS provides a standardized approach to data product specification, enabling organizations to create reusable, well-documented data assets that can be easily discovered, understood, and consumed.

Key Features

Data Product Definition

ODPS provides a standardized format for defining data products, including:

  • Metadata: Product name, description, owner, and version information
  • Schema: Data structure and format specifications
  • Quality Metrics: Data quality rules and validation criteria
  • Access Information: How to access and consume the data product
  • Lineage: Data source and transformation information

Product Catalog

ODPS enables the creation of searchable data product catalogs, making it easy to discover available data products across an organization.

Standardized Format

ODPS uses a consistent, machine-readable format that integrates with data catalogs, data marketplaces, and data governance tools.

Integration with ODCS

ODPS works seamlessly with the Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS), allowing data products to include detailed contract specifications for their data.

ODPS and Data Contracts

Data products defined with ODPS can include:

  • Data Contracts: ODCS-compliant contracts that define the structure and quality expectations
  • Schema Definitions: Detailed schema information for consumers
  • Versioning: Product version management and compatibility information
  • SLA Information: Service level agreements for data availability and freshness
