OSDU® Data Platform Standard

The OSDU Data Platform Standard, Version 1.0 is designed to help organizations better manage, access, and use enterprise data by reducing fragmentation and breaking down data silos. It provides a common framework for organizing and accessing data securely and efficiently, supporting improved collaboration, innovation, and decision making. 

Key benefits of the standard include interoperability by design, increased stability for application development and deployment, and a clear foundation for certification. Operators benefit from greater choice and reduced integration effort, independent software vendors can develop against a defined standard, and platform providers gain a transparent pathway to demonstrate conformance through certification. 

Version 1.0 represents a well defined subset of existing OSDU Data Platform capabilities, specifying consistent behavior for a defined set of APIs. By focusing on tested and demonstrated functionality, the standard provides organizations with a predictable interface between applications and conformant OSDU Data Platform implementations, enabling reliable integration across cloud providers and vendor applications. 

The standard is intentionally not tied to a specific community implementation release. Instead, it lags ongoing open source development to ensure capabilities have reached sufficient maturity, providing the industry with a stable, certifiable foundation while allowing continued innovation within the OSDU Forum ecosystem.
