The Linux Foundation continues working to get more involved in new AI initiatives. Today the Linux Foundation announced the OpenSharing Project with an effort to standardize AI asset and data exchange.

OpenSharing aims to be an open, vendor-neutral project for sharing AI assets and data between different organizations as well as different platforms. OpenSharing isn’t starting off from scratch but rather Databricks contributed their Delta Sharing protocol to the Linux Foundation. Databricks developed Delta Sharing to focus on data sharing across data, analytics and AI.

Their hope is to eliminate proprietary marketplaces and custom integrators by having an open protocol for exchanging agent skills, AI models, and other unstructured data. OpenSharing supports multiple open table formats.

More details on the Linux Foundation OpenSharing project via today’s press release. The new project site is hosted at OpenSharing.io.
