Robert Sahlin wrote a nice post on the data platform at MatHem, a Swedish retailer.
On the panel with STRM yesterday Avi asked the question:
You can’t use data contracts - or anything - to try to gain control over something owned by someone else.
Over on Medium I’ve published a post about a contract-based data platform, which is an updated version of my post to this newsletter back in December.
I wrote earlier this month that data contracts shouldn’t focus on enforcement.
Next Thursday I’ll be discussing data contracts and how they pave the way for effective enforcement on a webinar hosted by STRM.
The data contract must be owned by the data producer.
A few months back Whatnot published a great post on how they are using data contracts.
In a response to my LinkedIn post on how every data transform is technical debt, Tim Hiebenthal commented:
Data contracts can be applied in various places, but they’re most useful at the boundaries of ownership.
