Cognite Data products API
Data products are governed, ready-for-consumption data assets derived from data domains, following data mesh principles. **Key characteristics:** - **Clear ownership**: Defined data product owners with explicit access roles and accountability - **Rich metadata**: Comprehensive data modeling views, usage terms, access permissions, and descriptivedocumentation - **Self-service consumption**: Discoverable and well-documented for autonomous data consumer access - **Version management**: Immutable data modeling view versions with governed schemas and updatablemetadata Data products act as a governance layer around data modeling, establishing trust and reliabilityfor business decisions through clear ownership, comprehensive metadata, and standardized access patterns. **Space ownership**: A data product owns a schema space. The data modeling views that the data productgoverns live in that schema space. The schema space is exclusively owned by the data product.
