Preparing data assets for a data product

Data products contain curated data assets that preferably completed a Privacy Impact Assessment. Any Personal Identifiable Information (PII) must be removed.

Data product states

A data product moves through several states that indicate whether it is available to consumers on Data Product Hub.

The following image lists the data product states, which are Draft, Published, and Retired.

Data product states flow from Draft to Published to Retired

Draft

While you are authoring a data product, it is in Draft state. A draft data product can be edited as needed. You can add items, set the business domain and delivery methods, describe key features and the origin of the data, and add a data contract. You can track versions of the data product by incrementing the version number for each edit. Drafts are listed on the My work dashboard and can be edited only by the data product owner. A data product in the draft state is not available to the community.

Published

Published data products are available to members of your data community who are listed on the Manage community page. You can restrict access by indicating that the data product requires an approval before delivery. See Editing the access level. You can always change the access level of published data products, but the contents of the data product cannot be changed after publishing.

Data products remain available on Data Product Hub until you retire them. Data consumers can only find and subscribe to published data products. See Discovering data products.

Retired

Retired data products are not available for new subscriptions by consumers. They cannot be edited. They are not listed on Data Product Hub. Consumers who subscribed to the data product before it was retired can continue to work with it.

Managing the lifecycle of data products

On the My work dashboard, you can view all your data products organized by their state. From My work, you can edit drafts, publish completed data products, and retire data products that are no longer needed. For details, see Managing the lifecycle of data products.
