Abstract
The Open Data Platform Initiative (ODP) develops, maintains, and promotes Apache Hadoop and Big Data technologies for enterprise. ODP seeks to: accelerate delivery of Big Data solutions by defining, integrating, testing, and certifying a standard "ODP Core" of compatible versions of select Big Data open source projects; provide a stable base against which Big Data solutions providers can qualify solutions; produce a set of tools and methods that enable members to create and test differentiated offerings based on the ODP Core; reinforce the role of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) in the development and governance of upstream projects; contribute to ASF projects in accordance with ASF processes and Intellectual Property guidelines; support community development and outreach activities that accelerate the rollout of modern data architectures that leverage Apache Hadoop; and help minimize the fragmentation and duplication of effort within the industry.
