OASIS members and other interested parties,
OASIS and the DPS TC are pleased to announce that Data Provenance Metadata Version 1.0 CSD01 is now available for public review and comment.
As industry continues to prioritize data as a Core Enterprise Asset in this AI driven environment, strategy, operations, and risk management depend heavily on the integrity and governance
of that data. This reliance has created a critical need for automation-based validation regarding data origin, quality, intended use, and lifecycle.
To address this, the DPS TC has developed the OASIS Data Provenance Standards (DPS) schema. This framework, built through extensive cross-industry collaboration and over 150 deep dives, provides a standardized way to track the origin, movement, integrity, and quality of data. The primary purpose is to ensure scalability, interoperability, and business value by fostering transparency, accountability, and oversight, thereby reducing the risk of misuse and ensuring compliance.
The TC is seeking expert feedback. During the review, please keep the TC's core objectives in mind:
Open and Readable: Providing a framework that works seamlessly across platforms and jurisdictions.
Tool-Agnostic: Ensuring the framework is flexible enough to integrate into existing workflows.
Standardized Metadata: Enabling automation to facilitate faster, more informed decision-making.
