Data Products Marketplace¶
Alation Cloud Service Applies to Alation Cloud Service instances of Alation
This section contains topics that introduces a data products marketplace and provides information on how to find, use, and manage data products marketplaces.
The Alation Data Products Marketplace app provides a way for you to create trusted, accessible, and reusable sets of data to use with AI, applications, dashboards, or other integrations. The app is available for Alation Cloud Service through the New User Experience or through APIs.
The Data Products Marketplace (DPM) is an Alation platform that allows users to:
Discover data products that are designed for reuse
Understand what data is available and how to use it
Trust that the data they find is compliant and well-governed
Set and govern standards required to list data products
Marketplace Governance¶
Each marketplace enforces its own:
Minimum standards (what a data product must have to be listed)
Optional certifications (what a data product may earn if it exceeds the basics)
Role-based permissions (who can view, list, approve, or remove data products)
This ensures that only useful and trustworthy data products are shown to consumers. If a data product doesn’t meet the minimum standard, it is not displayed in the search results even if it exists.
