Architecture

The diagram below contains the structure of the Platform and shows principles of data exchange between ODD and your in-house components.

Push-client is a provider which sends information directly to the central repository of the Platform. Also read about a push-strategy.

ODD Collector is a lightweight service which gathers metadata from all your data sources:

• It manages your metadata according to the Specification.

• It connects to all your data sources simultaneously and provides configurable scheduling.

ODDRN (Open Data Discovery Resource Name) is a unique resource name that identifies entities such as data sources, data entities, dataset fields etc. It is used to built lineage and update metadata.
