This component is complete and can be used. The interfaces will be supported until the function is removed from the project via the deprecation process. There will be ongoing extensions to this function, but it will be done to ensure backward compatibility as far as possible. If there is a need to break backward compatibility, this will be discussed and reviewed in the community, with a documented timeline.

Design Model Open Metadata Access Service (OMAS)

The Design Model OMAS supports the management of design model intellectual property that has either been provided as standard or created in a software architecture and design modeling tool.

The current implementation of this service focuses on the development and maintenance of data design artifacts used to construct data dictionaries and data specifications:

  • Data fields describe the logical structure of a data item.
  • Data classes describe the data values that may be stored in the data fields. Data classes can be used to configure data quality validators running in the Survey Action Engine.
  • Data structures describe the data fields for each required data source in a data specification.

Use

The Design Model OMAS supports the Data Designer OMVS.

Implementation

The Design Model OMAS is built on the Open Metadata Store REST API and so does not add new REST APIs of its own.
