What is an example of a data product?
A few types of data products include:
Recommendation engines: Curated algorithms that use structured data to deliver personalized experiences for end users.
Financial risk models: Automated credit risk assessments and similar models, which leverage high-quality, governed datasets to inform business decisions.

However, data products can span a wide range of curated data assets, including dashboards, reports, and APIs.

A data product marketplace is a centralized, self-service platform that enables organizations to discover, access, and use trusted data products. The user experience is similar to shopping on an ecommerce site.
Such marketplaces empower data producers to publish and maintain high-quality, governed assets that address their specific business needs and use cases. Additionally, data consumers can easily find, trust, and use relevant data, driving broader adoption and informed decision-making.

Alation Data Products Marketplace, IBM Data Product Hub, and SAP Datasphere Data Marketplace are a few of the leading options. A growing number of vendors provide similar solutions, whether for internal enterprise use or public data sharing.
