Data Product

Synonym for Data Assets. Started in Data Mesh.

DJ Patil, former United States Chief Data Scientist, defined a data product as:

A product that facilitates an end goal through the use of data (from his book Data Jujitsu: The Art of Turning Data into Product, 2012).

Types of data products - by Luke Lin

Zhamak Dehghani has a definition, DJ Patil had the original definition, and perhaps we still don’t know, as JGP a new Community Definition.

I think, the practical and actual definitions is within Dagster’s data products, used by the Data Asset and Software-Defined Asset.

Also, Data Mesh talks about “data as a product”. It applies more product thinking, whereas the “Data Product” essentially is a dashboard, report, and table in a Data Warehouse or a Machine Learning model. Sometimes Data Products are also called Data Assets.

Dagster also works declaratively to produce Data Asset with Software-Defined Asset.
