Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS)
ODCS defines a shared, open way to describe agreements between data producers and consumers. Within the working group, contributors can review contract structures, metadata expectations, ownership fields, and practical implementation patterns.

Open Data Product Standard (ODPS)
ODPS provides a framework to define, document, and govern reusable data products. In this channel, the community can refine how data products are described, owned, discovered, and trusted across teams and platforms.
