Data sharing tool for facilitating real-time access to current or updated datasets

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processing device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute program code stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium and thereby perform operations comprising:
• generating an open data reference record for an open data reference specifying a location for storing report data associated with a report, the open data reference record comprising an identification of the report, the open data reference, and a report definition of the report that describes how report data associated with a report is generated;
• generating a data query based on the report definition;
• executing the data query on source data stored in a data store to obtain the report data;
• causing the report data returned by the data query to be stored on a storage device at the location specified by the open data reference, wherein the report data is retrievable via a network using the open data reference for integration within a third-party application;
• and
• causing the report data stored on the storage device to be replaced with updated report data, the updated report data being generated by executing, on the source data, an updated data query generated based on the report definition of the report stored in the open data reference record for the open data reference.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code stored thereon, the program code executable by one or more processing devices for performing operations comprising:

• generating an open data reference record for an open data reference specifying a location for storing report data associated with a report, the open data reference record comprising an identification of the report, the open data reference, and a report definition of the report that describes how report data associated with a report is generated;
• generating a data query based on the report definition;
• executing the data query on source data stored in a data store to obtain the report data;
• causing the report data returned by the data query to be stored on a storage device at the location specified by the open data reference, wherein the report data is retrievable via a network using the open data reference for integration within a third-party application;
• and
• causing the report data stored on the storage device to be replaced with updated report data, the updated report data being generated by executing, on the source data, an updated data query generated based on the report definition of the report stored in the open data reference record for the open data reference.
