Data Landscape

An interactive landscape of the open standards that power a modern data architecture, built with CNCF landscape2.

Live site: https://datacontract.github.io/data-landscape/

Curated by Entropy Data, with contributions by Denis Arnaud, Stefan Negele, and Erik Wilde.

Structure

• Metadata — how data is described structurally (API interfaces, data products, schema)
• Semantics — how meaning is encoded (vocabularies, ontologies, semantic models)
• Storage — where data lives (file formats, table formats, storage systems)
• Movement — how data flows between systems (connectivity, messaging, transfer, in-memory)
• Metastore — how data is found and traced (catalog APIs, lineage)
• Operations — how data is queried, observed, and governed (query, quality, observability, policies)

Contributing

PRs welcome — especially:

• new standards we missed
• corrections to descriptions, governance, or status
• better logos (prefer SVG)

To add a standard, edit data.yml. Find the right category and subcategory, then add an entry like:

- name: 'My Standard'
  description: 'One-paragraph summary.'
  homepage_url: 'https://example.org'
  logo: 'mystandard.svg'
  repo_url: 'https://github.com/example/my-standard'

Drop the logo file in logos/. SVG preferred; PNG/JPG accepted.
