The end goal of data governance is not control — it is safe consumption. Users should be able to find, request, and reuse trusted data products without navigating a maze of approvals, tribal knowledge, and manual data requests.
What a data marketplace looks like
Certified datasets, dashboards, metrics, APIs, models, and AI systems — packaged into governed products with clear ownership, quality signals, access policies, and usage analytics.
Implementation pattern
The marketplace sits on top of the governance graph. Every product in the marketplace inherits its metadata, lineage, quality, and policy from the underlying governance layer. Access is governed at the product level, not the table level.
