Open Resource Discovery (ORD): A New Open Standard for Discovering Services, Events, and Data Products
· 5 min read
In complex enterprise environments, knowing which digital services, events, and data products are available — and how to integrate with them — is a well-known challenge. As businesses evolve, the ability to discover, understand, and consume digital offerings becomes increasingly critical. Open Resource Discovery (ORD), now an independent open standard under the Linux Foundation (via the NeoNephos Foundation), was designed to solve this challenge. It provides a standard, automated way for industries to describe and publish services, events, and data products directly from their source systems, making it an ideal foundation for digital collaboration and integration across platforms.
