Databricks has handed the Delta Sharing protocol over to the Linux Foundation. OpenSharing extends Delta Sharing to AI models, agent skills, and unstructured data across clouds and platforms. It adds standard APIs for discovery, authorization, and access, with support for existing Delta Sharing recipients plus Apache Iceberg/REST Catalog clients. The project aims to replace proprietary marketplaces with a single standard for enterprise AI asset distribution.
