Epic Goal

The AI catalog plugin will utilize a standardized format to aggregate model and model server metadata from various sources (e.g. from RHOAI Model Registry). It should be possible to then use the schema to generate model catalog entities for ingestion into the RHDH / Backstage catalog,  through the use of a generation library.

We've previously defined a mapping of model/model server metadata to Backstage catalog entities (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ArB8w-TawZ_DuMbZoukk4inVsAgqHntB8yN2lttwjyo/edit), and this should form a good starting point for an implementation.

Why is this important?

• This will provide a consistent way to generate model catalog entities from a given list of metadata
• The generator library will allow us to leave the catalog entity generation to the backend RHDH plugin, without needing the normalizer services to do so

Scenarios

1. Model Catalog Schema Definition: Define a schema that can be used to generate model catalogs
2. Generator Library: Catalog Generator library for generating model catalog entities
