ORDM Model Explorer

Live site → https://open-retail-data-model.github.io/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, interaction, labor, equipment).
• 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.
• Links — each package and domain panel links its glossary and ODCS data contract (served with this site) and its source folder on GitHub (which needs access to the ORDM source repository).

About this repository

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.md and IS hand-edited there; "do not edit files here" refers to the published gh-pages root, 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.
