The ODS (DWHCRPT) and data mart (DWDMOSU) will be retired on June 1, 2025. Student data currently housed in the ODS (DWHCRPT) and the data mart (DWDMOSU) has transitioned to the RAE (Reporting and Analytics Environment).
Since Autumn 2024, the primary communication tool for updates regarding this transition to the RAE is the ODS users mailing list that we’ve also been using to reach ODS users directly. There is also information posted through the Data Lake page.
As we head into fiscal year 2025, check out the accomplishments listed in the FY24 Data Governance Annual Report , aligned under the six focus areas of the Data Governance program.
It’s hoped that when reading over each accomplishment, readers will not only take note of examples of where they’ve collaborated with the Data Governance team, but also examples of where they’ve benefited directly or indirectly from each deliverable.
When the university asked OTDI to modernize our administrative systems with cloud-based Workday, Ohio State gained the ability to maintain a primary source of trusted data (a single source of truth) that could be shared by all of Ohio State and the Wexner Medical Center.
In addition to Workday (implemented in 2021) the university knew it also needed a new application to enable better reporting and data analytics for its business transactions. By adding Tableau as a partnering tool, Ohio State's data analysis and data visualization competencies have expanded. Check out this quick 5-minute History of OTDI video highlighting Tableau to learn how it was incorporated into Ohio State’s suite of powerful enterprise tools.

Ohio State’s Data Governance team launched a new initiative in 2022 to standardize institutional definitions, partnering with colleagues across the university.
Our latest definition for "Learner" is ready for community review. The group is open to hearing from all faculty and staff from the university and Wexner Medical Center during the review period. Those interested in reviewing these definitions are asked to fill out this Qualtrics survey by Wednesday, May 8 .
The Data Governance team is ready to convene the working group for the next institutional definition session. The session to discuss the institutional definition for the term "Learner" will occur on Thursday, April 4.
Part of this group’s efforts in helping to standardize institutional definitions involves facilitating the development of working groups, consisting of university and medical center subject matter experts and data stewards. Read on to see how you can get involved.
