Next Release

Release 5.4 (September 2025)

These are DRAFT release notes. The notes will be updated until & when 5.3 is released

Open Metadata Types
  • The GovernanceResponsibilityAssignment relationship now connects to an Actor at end 2.
  • There is a new relationship called ImplementationResource to separate components available for the implementation team from the complete implementations identified by the ImplementedBy relationship.
  • Relationship GovernanceDefinitionScope has been renamed to ScopedBy to clarify its use.
  • Relationships GovernanceProcessImplementation and GovernanceRuleImplementation have been replaced by ImplementedBy to create better consistency in the way that design/requirements are linked to implementations.
  • Entity InformationSupplyChainSegment has been removed and, instead, InformationSupplyChains can now be nested. This creates a simpler, but more flexible model, particularly for large organizations that may wish for more than one level of nesting in their information supply chains.
  • Entity DigitalService and relationships DigitalServiceProduct and DigitalServiceOperator have been removed and, instead, DigitalProduct becomes an entity that inherits from Collection. It can now be nested using the renamed DigitalProductDependency (renamed from DigitalServiceDependency). Relationship DigitalServiceManagement becomes DigitalProductManagement and relationship DigitalServiceDesign becomes SolutionDesign.
  • Relationship OrganizationalCapability has been renamed to BusinessCapabilityTeam.
  • The AssetOrigin classification has been replaced by DigitalResourceOrigin which can be linked to any element that described digital resources, rather than just assets.
