Live site → https://open-retail-data-model.github.io/staging-model-explorer/
An interactive, browser-based explorer for the Open Retail Data Model (ORDM) — the retail instance of the Industry Data Model. It lets you navigate the model visually:
- Canonical core (silver) — the conformed foundational domains (customer, product, store, order, transaction, payment, inventory, supplier, procurement, marketing, logistics, calendar).
- Outcome packages (gold) — business-outcome data products built on top of the core, grouped by retail theme.
- Per-table detail — columns with types, primary/foreign keys, PII flags, and enum values, plus which outcome packages consume which core domains.
This repo hosts only the built, deployed site (the gh-pages branch). It is generated and
published automatically from the ORDM model and its shared DDL parser — do not edit files here
directly, they are overwritten on every deploy. The model itself (DDL, contracts, generators) is
maintained in the ORDM project repository.
This page is the deployed-site view. In the source repo this file lives at
explorer/public/README.mdand IS hand-edited there; "do not edit files here" refers to the publishedgh-pagesroot, not the source.
Everything you see is generated from the model's source of truth (the committed DDL), so the diagram can never drift from the data model.
