ODPS (BITOL @ LF)

Open Data Product Standard

Adopt Foundation BITOL / Linux Foundation Since 2025 🏅 Entropy Data pick

Judgement: Adopt

Winning data-product spec; ODCS-aligned.

YAML standard for describing data products. Mirrors ODCS on fundamentals, ownership, and terms, and adds input ports, output ports, and management ports.

Each port references an ODCS contract. Combined, ODCS + ODPS yield the full data-mesh dependency graph — consumers, products, sources — derived directly from YAML.

Acronym collision: "ODPS" is also used for the Open Data Product Specification, a separate LF project. Both display as ODPS here — disambiguate by governance (BITOL vs opendataproducts.org).

Example

A data product: input ports it consumes, output ports it promises, each bound to a data contract.
