Data Product
GL-310
A dataset published for others to use and managed like a product: it has a named owner, documented meaning, quality commitments and a stable interface that consumers can rely on.
Associated with data mesh, but useful without it. A table that someone happens to share is not a data product until it has an owner and commitments.
