OpenCDM

OpenCDM is a project focused on developing an open-source implementation of the Common Data Model (CDM). The CDM is a standard schema for organizing and defining business data, particularly within the context of data integration and analytics. The goal of OpenCDM is to provide a freely available and modifiable version of this data model, promoting interoperability and data consistency across different applications and systems.

The project aims to foster a community-driven approach to CDM development, allowing users and organizations to contribute to its evolution and adaptation. By making the CDM open-source, OpenCDM seeks to reduce vendor lock-in and enable wider adoption of standardized data practices. This can lead to more efficient data management, easier data sharing, and improved analytical capabilities.

OpenCDM is designed to be a foundational component for various data-related initiatives, including data warehousing, business intelligence, and data science. Its open nature encourages customization to meet specific industry or organizational needs while maintaining compatibility with the core CDM principles. The project emphasizes transparency and collaboration in its development process.
