Data solution metadata schema – v2.0

The updated (v2.0) version of the data automation metadata schema has been finalised!

This version is\ the culmination of many discussions over a long period of time, and hopefully is a step in the direction of making the exchange of data solution / data warehouse metadata easier.

The link to the latest & greatest version is here: https://github.com/data-solution-automation-engine/data-warehouse-automation-metadata-schema/releases/tag/v2.0.

An important change is that the ‘Data Query’ concept has been split out into a query at Data Item level (DataItemQuery) and one at Data Object level (DataObjectQuery). Both types share the same interface, and have various shared properties.

However, they also have their own properties that are only relevant for their ‘level’.

For example, a connection applies to the Data Object Query, but not to the Data Item Query. Similarly, an ordinal position applies to the Data Item Query, but not to the Data Object Query.

This has been updated in the definition, examples, templates etc.

Also relevant, this version comes with a full automated documentation set: https://data-solution-automation-engine.github.io/data-warehouse-automation-metadata-schema/.

Full release notes are available on the above-mentioned Github link.

Give it a go!
