Submission declined on 16 January 2025 by Beachweak (talk). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.

Comment: The creator has a COI note on their profile for "Data Contract" - it is possible that the COI actually exists for one of the named entities here, and not for the term itself. Clarification may be needed before publishing. ASUKITE 19:25, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
A Data Contract is a formal agreement that defines expectations around a data artifact such as a dataset, a stream, etc.
The Linux Foundation project Bitol has published a data contract standard called Open Data Contract Standard (OCDS).[1]. Its current version is 3.0.1.
History
[edit]On April 28th, 2024, PayPal publishes as Open Source its data contract template[2]. It came from the work that Jean-Georges Perrin and his team were doing on Data Mesh[3].
In June 2023, Andrew Jones publishes "Driving Data Quality with Data Contracts: A comprehensive guide to building reliable, trusted, and effective data platforms.[4]"
In November 2023, The Linux Foundation accepted the Bitol project that forked the work from PayPal and created the Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS)[5]
