Contract and Method

A contract is where you set rules that determine how asset business fields are exposed to the data consumer. At times a data consumer API request requires the business fields to be different in content or format from the asset business fields. The contract is the context where asset business fields can be modified or removed altogether to match the data consumer requirements.

Contracts are based on the project-assigned modules. Inside the contract, business fields are grouped in methods according to the assets from which they originated, so that each asset in a module is represented by a method in the contract.
