The data contract is an important part of a data product as it shapes the agreement between the data product owner and the data consumers. The data contract documents the structure, format, service level, quality, and terms of use. A data contract consists of a high-level overview of the agreement and one or more data contract manifests. Data contract manifests are the actual YAML files that contain the definitions and contents of a data contract.
