Data Products Powered by Metadata

Transform how your organization delivers data. InfoLibrarian™ enables you to create, govern, and publish trusted data products that are discoverable, requestable, and accountable—right from the source. With metadata-driven governance, quality controls, and ownership embedded across domains, you can shift left and manage data like a product.

Don't wait for data issues to surface downstream. Enforce contracts, SLAs, and quality rules at the edge of your ecosystem—whether on-prem or in the cloud. InfoLibrarian Studio™ helps stewards model data product lifecycles, define business metadata and semantics, and prepare metadata views for enterprise data marketplaces aligned with data mesh principles.

What is Data as a Product?

"Data as a Product" means managing datasets with the same rigor as a customer-facing product: clear ownership, guaranteed quality, defined contracts, and easy discoverability. Each data product is accountable to consumers through SLAs, documentation, and governance policies.

Sample Metadata-Driven Data Product Definition

{
  "urn": "urn:product:customer_orders",
  "schema": {
    "order_id": "string",
    "customer_id": "string",
    "order_date": "date",
    "total": "decimal"
  },
  "dq_rules": {
    "order_date": "must not be in future",
    "total": "must be >= 0"
  },
  "sla": {
    "availability": "99.9%",
    "freshness": "daily by 8am"
  },
  "business_metadata": {
    "domain": "Sales",
    "description": "Captures all customer order and revenue events.",
    "product_owner": "sales-analytics@company.com",
    "tags": ["sales", "orders", "revenue"]
  }
}


Each data product is governed by metadata-enforced data contracts to ensure quality and compliance.



How InfoLibrarian Supports Data Product Governance & Stewardship

  • Automates metadata capture and policy enforcement
  • Integrates with catalogs and lineage tools
  • Supports federated stewardship models
  • Enables data contract validation at scale


Data Democratization is a natural outcome of treating data as a product. By embedding ownership, discoverability, and quality controls directly into the metadata layer, InfoLibrarian enables governed self-service at scale. Business users can easily find, understand, and trust the data they need—without compromising compliance or control.



Data Product stewardship, validation, and SLA enforcement are fully embedded within our governance and stewardship model.
