Data contracts (data contracts) refer to a set of agreements (the contract) between the data consumers (users) and the data producers (owners of the data).
The contract contains the specifications of the data offered by producers and the terms under which the data will be made available to consumers.
In a data mesh architecturedata are owned by the teams that produce them, and each team is responsible for specifying the data they provide and the contracts that formalize those specifications. The data contract defines the attributes of the data, including meaning, semantics, quality requirements, and access and usage specifications.
Data contracts are important because they facilitate collaboration between teams and make data interoperable. The use of common standards and agreements can improve the sharing and use of data between teams and maximize the value of the data.
