ODPS (LF)

Open Data Product Specification

Assess Foundation opendataproducts.org / Linux Foundation Since 2022

Judgement: Assess

LF-governed data-product spec; strong on commercial terms, modest adoption.

Standalone open specification for describing data products, governed under the Linux Foundation umbrella. Strong on pricing plans and internationalisation, making it a natural fit for external data marketplaces with complex commercial terms.

Different mental model from BITOL's ODPS: no concept of input ports, at most one linked contract at the top level. Both are valid — they solve different problems.

Example

Product-manager framing: value proposition, visibility, and status are first-class, with the contract referenced.
