The Common Data Model (CDM) is a standard and extensible collection of schemas (entities, attributes, relationships) that represents business concepts and activities with well-defined semantics, to facilitate data interoperability. Examples of entities include: Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Product, etc. observed · 2026-08-28

Microsoft's Common Data Model (CDM) is a standard, extensible collection of schemas (entities, attributes, relationships) representing business concepts like Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity, with well-defined semantics for data interoperability. This repository hosts the official multi-language SDKs (C#/.NET, Java, Python, TypeScript) for parsing, provisioning, and working with CDM metadata.

Use cases

  • unify business data schemas across applications
  • parse and validate CDM metadata documents
  • map my company's data to standard business entities
  • share consistent data definitions between teams and departments
  • integrate Power Platform / Dataverse data with custom pipelines
  • provision standard entity schemas for analytics solutions

When to choose

  • you need standardized business entity schemas for interoperability with Microsoft ecosystem tools
  • you're building data pipelines that consume or produce CDM-formatted metadata
  • you want a shared semantic data model across multiple applications

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose ORM or database driver rather than a schema standard
  • your domain has no overlap with CDM's business/analytical entities
  • you're on SDK versions prior to 1.7.1 (the CDM Schema Store has been shut down)
