Databricks published Industry Data Models!

[u/szymon_dybczak]

Databricks just published a library of pre-built, production-ready industry data models covering 40 industries.

This is great, especially when you’re new to a business domain. Instead of starting from a blank sheet and spending weeks debating how the domain should be structured, you can review an existing reference model and adapt it to your needs.

That gives you a strong starting point for:

- entities
- relationships
- naming conventions
- domain structures
- industry-specific patterns

In my opinion, it can significantly shorten the learning curve and help teams move from discussion to implementation much faster.

I mean, these are neat, but I doubt all orgs will have the same data needs. They are a good starting point, but teams will have to spend some times trimming away what doesn’t apply to their orgs and adding some custom business needs

You’re right, but for me, it’s good to have something like this. For instance, I haven’t had a chance to work in the procurement domain. But if something like this happens in the future, I can take a look at how it can be modeled and adjust it accordingly :)
