This free course introduces you to the Open Data Product Specification (ODPS 4.0) — a modern, YAML-based metadata standard for describing, sharing, governing, and monetizing data products. ODPS is adopted already by several industry leaders like NATO, BASF, FIWARE, and Alation.
ODPS is designed for the real-world needs of platforms, ecosystems, and public-sector initiatives, ODPS enables true interoperability across technical, business, legal, and ethical dimensions.
Whether you’re working with open government data, internal data marketplaces, smart city platforms, or AI-native services, this course gives you the foundation to start using ODPS effectively.
You’ll explore the nine core objects of ODPS — including product details, pricing plans, access methods, data quality, SLA, and more — one by one. Each object is explained through:
- Concise slide walkthroughs
- Live YAML building with a custom GPT trained to understand ODPS 4.0
By the end, you’ll have created your own full ODPS YAML file, ready to adapt or publish. You’ll also gain insight into the most common adoption patterns, including as-is usage, OpenAPI integration, AI extensions, and Data Mesh ports.
This course is taught by the creator and maintainer of ODPS, ensuring you learn directly from the source.
