In a physical store, shoppers browse the aisles, pick up and examine products, compare them to other nearby products, add them to their cart, purchase them, and take them home. When they examine a product, they might read the ingredients, number of calories, nutritional statistics, and expiration date.\u00a0 (See figure 1.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taken collectively, these real-world products exhibit several characteristics: they are standardized, packaged, shoppable, deliverable, and returnable. (See figure 2.) These characteristics are a good starting point for understanding the true nature of data products. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sub\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cReal-world products are standardized, packaged, shoppable, deliverable, and returnable.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vidimg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"iframelink\">youtu.be\/DQccoXilln4<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe class=\"videoem\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DQccoXilln4?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txtlnk\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\n\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\t<div style=\" z-index: 2\" class=\"simplesub wow zoomIn bgorange b80w notoppover footunder cignore singleyes\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"textblockwrap\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sub\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cfigure bgnone\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Figure 1.
