Abstract
As the shortcomings of monolithic data platforms such as data lakes are quickly becoming more grave and evident, many organisations are struggling to transition to data meshes, making data available for consumption in a decentralised manner. However, the emerging data mesh paradigm fails to provide sufficient (modelling) support to effectively create, manage, and describe data products, the architectural quanta of a data mesh. In this work, we introduce the data Product Model Template (ProMoTe): a formal meta-model of data products that is fully aligned with a data mesh. ProMoTe was devised, explored and partially validated based on industry requirements in tandem with academic literature and is currently being used by a major Dutch Telecom company to enable their data mesh transition.
