In this episode of InContext, the Blindata.io podcast, Jacopo, Gabriele, and Andrea dive into the concept of the data product marketplace, exploring its role as a platform where supply and demand come together to build a portfolio of reusable and composable data products.

This InContext episode explores the shift from traditional Data Catalogs to Data Product Catalogs. It defines a "data product" as a reusable, governed digital asset with clear ownership and business meaning. The discussion highlights how traditional data catalogs, while useful for technical metadata, often lack business context and hinder reusability. In contrast, a Data Product Catalog emphasizes a product-oriented view, making data discoverable, trustworthy, and composable. The episode introduces "shift left" governance, integrating data quality and compliance early in development using "data product descriptors.
