Enkinex ODCS Library

Current versionv3.1.0

Enkinex ODCS is a library for writing data governance as code. It implements the Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS) as modular KCL schemas, bringing data contracts modularity, maintainability, type safety, constraints, and two-way validation.

The library is composed of six modules — common, catalog, contract, iam, quality, server — plus the root odcs.k, which imports from every module and composes the final DataContract schema.

Author a data contract as a typed KCL project step by step, then export it to YAML.

Quick Start​

Everything below assumes the KCL CLI >= 0.12.7 is on your PATH — the tutorial's Installing KCL page walks through it.

Add Enkinex ODCS to your KCL project​

From the root of your KCL module, pull the library in as a Git dependency pinned to the release tag. It lands in kcl.mod as enkinex_odcs, which is the name you import from in your .k files.

kcl mod add --git https://github.com/enkinex/enkinex-odcs --tag 'v3.1.0'

Clone the Enkinex ODCS library from GitHub​

To read the schemas, run the test fixtures, or contribute a change, clone the library itself:

git clone https://github.com/enkinex/enkinex-odcs.git

Clone the Enkinex ODCS tutorial code from GitHub​

The complete tutorial project — the ODCS example contract written as modular KCL — is a separate repository:
