Context
With a distributed and varied industry such as ours, there is a need to discover the data that is available as an enterprise. As the organization and the industry strives towards data-oriented opportunities to differentiate and find more markets, the domains must participate and contribute to building up a reservoir of data that is universally discoverable.
Decision
The OSDU index can serve as the landing point to search through this information. And hence it is imperative for the domains to register and publish all relevant data to this index. Along the same lines any insights and derived data can also be published to this central index.
Rationale
-
Making the relevant data from domain/subdomains discoverable from a central place helps understand the volume and variety of the data that enterprise handles as a whole
-
The OSDU index serves as a marketplace to discover newer workflows and insights which are otherwise silo-ed
Consequences
- The principles conflicts with the other principle on domain-centric approach , where-in each domain will have to accommodate a "non-domain" activities of publishing to OSDU or consuming from it. However these must be looked from a large context and justified.
