Meta Analysis is adopting the Bitol OCDS standard to promote data exchange within organizations

ODCS is a proposed standard for Data Contracts, designed to standardize exchanges between data suppliers and consumers.

This approach is particularly interesting in the case of a Data Mesh model, but is also relevant in other situations.

Thanks to the flexibility and advanced features of Meta Analysis, it is possible to integrate the properties of a Data Contract, and visualize it in a user-friendly interface. In this way, the Data Contract can be integrated into the Data Lineage and the global governance process.

The ODCS standard defines a Yaml file format as the exchange medium. The Meta Analysis APIs can be used to retrieve the various elements and associations that define the Data Contract, and convert them into the standard format.
