Introducing OpenSharing: the Next Evolution of Delta Sharing for the Agentic Era
Databricks has introduced OpenSharing, an evolution of its Delta Sharing protocol designed for the agentic AI era. This new open-source protocol, now hosted by the Linux Foundation, expands beyond data sharing to encompass models, agents, and skills across any cloud or vendor. OpenSharing aims to facilitate seamless collaboration by supporting various formats like Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, and Apache Parquet, allowing data and AI assets to remain in their original locations.
