Open Data Contract & Product Standards Linux Foundation 1k+ stars
The open standards that data contracts and data products are written in: ODCS describes the schema, semantics, quality, and SLAs of a data interface, and ODPS describes the data product that serves it. Both are Linux Foundation projects governed under Bitol — and the standards the Data Contract CLI and Data Contract Editor implement.
Created in 2023 (not by Simon)
Simon serves on the Technical Steering Committee for both standards
