The OSDU® Forum Mission and Vision

Our purpose is to reduce uncertainty in data-driven, evidence-based decision making by integrating technical and operational data to enable the selection of the most promising scenario.

The OSDU Standard and OSDU Data Platform optimize both knowledge and information retention during exchanges between disciplines and organizational siloes. This enables better and faster business decisions with accessible, interoperable, shareable, trusted and deployable data. The Open Group OSDU Forum collaborates to deliver:

• The OSDU Standard; the data model and API-specification
• The OSDU Data Platform; an open-source, reference implementation of the standard

• The OSDU Test Suite; supporting certification

   

These provide the foundation for:

• Boundaryless Information Flow™ among stakeholders
• Advanced analytics, AI, and agentic workflows
• The industry Digital Transformation

The OSDU Forum vision is to create the data platform for a connected industry, where data is accessible, delivering business value and sustainable growth.
