Version 3.2.0

Highlights

• Context for AI systems: Tell agents how to use your data, what is verified, and what they must never do
• Synonyms: Record the other names your business actually uses, with, if needed, locale and provenance
• Variables: One contract that works in dev, test, and production, with no secrets in Git
• Vectors, maps, and enums: Describe embeddings, dictionaries, and controlled vocabularies properly
• Measures and dimensions: Declare semantic roles without leaving the property shape
• Deprecation: Retire fields and ports without breaking consumers
• Nine new server types: Iceberg, SAP HANA, Teradata, Exasol, and the Actian engines
• Five shared RFCs: The same features, defined once, landing in ODCS and ODPS together
