This month introduces success metrics dashboards for data products and the Business Glossary, so you can track semantic linking, stewardship coverage, metadata fill rate, and downstream reuse with repeatable KPIs. MCP write tools let AI assistants create and update glossary and catalog resources directly; the Agent UI now supports secret file uploads for JDBC connections; Mermaid diagrams render in markdown documentation; and a new compact menu frees screen space for large maps and visualizations.
Changelog
This is where you can stay up to date with the latest features, updates, and improvements in Blindata.
This month brings a refreshed Blueprint experience with updated documentation, data contract quality annotations in the Data Product Builder, and a revisited Stewardship module for roles and responsibilities. Data product owners can define quality rules on the contract to monitor products over time; platform teams get clearer blueprint discovery, and builders can export port schemas to CSV for offline editing and re-import.
This month brings stronger privacy controls for AI integrations, clearer stewardship analytics—including raw exports and gap views—and faster glossary alignment when importing technical metadata. The data products area now surfaces responsibility distribution alongside existing views, and JDBC-based crawling can carry semantic links into the catalog on ingest.
We’re introducing a streamlined experience for building and administering data products in Blindata. The Data Product Builder is now the single place to define your descriptor, manage releases with Git, and jump straight into DevOps—so you can own the full lifecycle from definition to deployment. Here’s what’s new.
Here are the first 2026 updates: a better search experience, more flexible custom properties and discussions, clearer stewardship and data product roles, new guides (CSV, OPA policies, deployment), and MCP/resource-type improvements.
We’re excited to announce the launch of Semantic Search and MCP Server - two powerful new features that bring AI-powered intelligence to your data discovery experience. These additions transform how you find, understand, and interact with your data assets through natural language and seamless AI integration.
We’re happy to announce the launch of Marketplace, a brand new module designed to make accessing and managing data products easier, smarter, and fully governed.
This update delivers key improvements, including enhancements to access control based on responsibilities, data quality highlights on data products, expanded odm-cli capabilities for data product descriptor creation, and a customizable home page logo option for customers.
The DataOps module in Blindata provides a modern, decentralized approach to data operations, seamlessly integrating with the Open Data Mesh platform. It empowers organizations with federated governance, lifecycle tracking, and computational policies, ensuring compliance and efficiency in data product management.
