Key concepts
Data products
Data Productisation is the process of packaging any dataset into a valuable asset or «product» that can be easily understood, accessed, and utilised by different stakeholders within an organisation.
Our approach to data productisation enables:
Discoverability
Data products should be easily located, with supportive information like domain, owner, lineage, and quality metrics readily available.
Addressability
Consistent access is key, achieved through standardised naming, formats, and a unique permanent address.
Understandability
Comprehensive documentation and clear schema description enable easy interpretation of the data product.
Trustworthiness
Adherence to service-level objectives establishes trust. This includes aspects like change intervals, timeliness, completeness, freshness, availability, performance, and lineage.
Interoperability
Data products should easily blend with others. Standardised metadata and types foster enterprise-wide data harmonisation.
Accessibility
Ease of access using native tools is crucial, aligning with the skill sets and languages of different domain teams.
Security
Data products should inherently uphold robust access control, ownership, and governance standards.
Value
The ultimate test of a data product is its utility – enhancing business performance. Usage and contribution to business results demonstrate its value.
