- Description
We introduce the Open Data Contract Standard and the popular open source tool Data Contract CLI to lay a foundation of the YAML format and the tool we will use throught the session.
Next, we introduce our case study that is used for the hands-on part.
Using our case study, participants take data under contract. They create a data contract for existing data, starting with an imported draft (datacontract import) and then add more and more iteratively, including quality checks. They will validate the data against their contract (datacontract test), create HTML documentation and visualizations (datacontract export), and even a data contract catalog (datacontract catalog). We have a short retro after this exercise.
After a break, we switch to contract-first. A data contract is created based on requirements in a group exercise with a facilitator, a data consumer, and a data producer. The facilitator elicit the requirements from the data consumer and writes the YAML files, while making sure that the data producer is fine with it as they have to own the contract afterwards. We have a short retro after this exercise.
We finish the session by talking about automation potentials after having introduced data contracts.
