What is DataBridge?

Definition

A data bridge is a Bluemeteor product used as a mapping and transformation layer that connects a source catalog to a target catalog. It standardises, cleans, and restructures product data during movement between systems. This ensures compatibility, accuracy, and readiness for downstream consumption.

A mapping layer must preserve the distinction between source facts and target formatting. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take a supplier catalog requiring a different target structure, apply the approved bridge mappings and transformation rules, and validate the prepared output before downstream delivery.

DataBridge in an autonomous operation

  1. Step 1:

    Input

    A supplier catalog requiring a different target structure

  2. Step 2:

    DataBridge

    Apply the approved bridge mappings and transformation rules

  3. Step 3:

    Outcome

    Validate the prepared output before downstream delivery

A mapping layer must preserve the distinction between source facts and target formatting.
