In this episode of InContext, the Blindata.io podcast, Jacopo, Gabriele, and Andrea dive into the concept of the data product marketplace, exploring its role as a platform where supply and demand come together to build a portfolio of reusable and composable data products.

This InContext episode explores the shift from traditional Data Catalogs to Data Product Catalogs. It defines a "data product" as a reusable, governed digital asset with clear ownership and business meaning. The discussion highlights how traditional data catalogs, while useful for technical metadata, often lack business context and hinder reusability. In contrast, a Data Product Catalog emphasizes a product-oriented view, making data discoverable, trustworthy, and composable. The episode introduces "shift left" governance, integrating data quality and compliance early in development using "data product descriptors.

In this episode of the Blindata podcast, hosts Jacopo, Andrea, and Gabriele delve into the intricacies of information architecture, focusing on the management of data, metadata, and knowledge within organizations.
