Data Contracts

APIs and data contracts have a lot in common, and APIs were part of the inspiration behind data contracts when I was coming up with the idea a few years back.

In yesterday’s note I wrote about the problem with defaults.

How do you like your data?

Data governance is changing.

I’m writing this on the train back from Paris, having spent the last few days at the apidays conference, where I gave a talk titled “Data contracts: The API for Data”.

I had a really great chat last week with Juan and Tim on their Catalog & Cocktails podcast.

I get asked a lot if there is, or should be, a standard for a data contract.

Yali Sassoon wrote a great article about What is, and what isn’t, a data contract.

I’m so proud to announce that my book on data contracts is out now!

With the release of my book on data contracts, I wanted to share why I agreed to write this book, and what it means to me personally.
