How to Build a Data Marketplace: Structure, Accountability and Architecture of Data as a Product

By Pierluigi Modesti

How do you build a Data Marketplace that actually works?

Not a catalog of tables.
Not a self-service illusion.
Not another data platform project.

A real Data Marketplace is an operating model.

In this book, you will learn how to design and implement a Data Marketplace as the executive layer of enterprise data management - where data products, governance, ownership, quality, and architecture converge.

Moving beyond hype and "data mesh" slogans, this guide offers a pragmatic and structured approach to:

Designing a Data Product Lifecycle

Establishing clear Business Data Ownership

Integrating Data Quality without duplication

Managing change and versioning at scale

Avoiding KPI conflicts and shadow data

Aligning governance with platform evolution

Whether you are a Chief Data Officer, Data Manager, enterprise architect, or transformation leader, this book provides a practical blueprint to build a stable, scalable, and governance-driven Data Marketplace.

Because a marketplace is not a tool.
It is the formalization of how an organization treats its data.
