The Data Usage Agreement Specification is an open initiative to define a common data usage agreement format. It can be used on its own, or in combination with the Data Contract Specification and the Data Product Specification.
A data usage agreement is a 1:1 relation between a data provider and a data consumer. It defines the purpose, status, and lifecycle of the agreement. A data contract can be part of an agreement.
A data usage agreement enables you to always know who is using what data and why. You can use agreements as input for automatically granting or revoking access in the platform, and store the current automation state in the agreement

We currently offer the specification in form of a JSON Schema datausageagreement.schema.json.
The specification supports the output port of a data product as a provider. The data contract is optional but recommended.
provider:
teamId: checkout
dataProductId: orders
outputPortId: orders_pii_v1_snowflake
dataContractId: orders_pii_v1 # optional
The specification supports three different consumer types:
consumer:
teamId: marketing
