What are system schemas

System schemas are schemas which are available to all the data partitions within an OSDU deployment out of the box.

How do you identify a system schema

The scope field is set to SHARED for system schemas in the schemaInfo section. Sample schemaInfo for system schemas:

{
  "schemaInfo": {
    "schemaIdentity": {
      "authority": "osdu",
      "source": "wks",
      "entityType": "work-product-component--WellLog",
      "schemaVersionMajor": 1,
      "schemaVersionMinor": 0,
      "schemaVersionPatch": 0,
      "id": "osdu:wks:work-product-component--WellLog:1.0.0"
    },
    "createdBy": "OSDU Data Definition Group",
    "scope": "SHARED",
    "status": "DEVELOPMENT"
  },
  "schema": {
  }
}

How to create system schema

You can create system schemas by (to be introduced) schemas/system endpoint in your schema service. Find more details in the ADR: #51

The schemas/system endpoint differs from the regular /schema endpoint in two ways:

1. It does not accept the data-partition-id header. Since the schemas being created belong to no data-partition in particular, the API does not allow users to pass data-partition-id header. If you do pass the header, the request would fail with error indicating data-partition-id header should not be supplied.
2. The API works on service principal auth only. The authorization mechanism is similar to what we have in partition service related APIs.
