Data Management: Data Products (Definitions)

"In the case of data mesh, a data product is an architectural quantum. It is the smallest unit of architecture that can be independently deployed and managed." (Zhamak Dehghani, "Data Mesh: Delivering Data-Driven Value at Scale", 2021)

"A data product is a data asset that should be trusted, reusable, and accessible. The data product is developed, owned, and managed by a domain, and each domain needs to make sure that its data products are accessible to other domains and their data consumers." (Marthe Mengen, 2024) [source] 

"A data product is a self-contained, independently deployable unit of data that delivers business value." (James Serra, "Deciphering Data Architectures", 2024)

"A collection of optimized data or data-related assets that are packaged for reuse and distribution with controlled access. Data products contain data as well as models, dashboards, and other computational asset types. Unlike data assets in governance catalogs, data products are managed as products with multiple purposes to provide business value." (IBM)

"A data product, in general terms, is any tool or application that processes data and generates results. […] Data products have one primary objective: to manage, organize and make sense of the vast amount of data that organizations collect and generate. It’s the users’ job to put the insights to use that they gain from these data products, take actions and make better decisions based on these insights." (Sisense) [source]

"A data product is a product built around data, containing everything required to complete a specific task or objective using that underlying data." (Opendatasoft)

"A data product is digital information that can be purchased." (Techtarget) [source]

"A key concept in data mesh architecture, Data Products are independent units of data managed by a specific domain team. They are responsible for defining, publishing, and maintaining their data assets while ensuring high-quality data that meets the needs of its consumers." (DataHub)

[Data product specification:] "Detailed description of a data set or data set series together with additional information that will enable it to be created, supplied to and used by another party" (ISO 19131)

"Data set or data set series that conforms to a data product specification" (ISO 19131)
