On July 31, 2026, the European Banking Authority (EBA) released new features to Data Point Model (DPM) 2.1, introducing eight key enhancements to its data reporting framework. DPM 2.1 builds upon existing DPM 2.0 capabilities while preserving complete continuity with the current framework. The new version supports the convergence of EBA and European Central Bank (ECB) reporting ecosystems and extends DPM's ability to accommodate both supervisory and statistical reporting requirements. Key enhancements include: Regex-based property validation, which allows users to define regular expression patterns directly on properties to enforce value constraints, providing a simpler alternative to creating multiple validation rules and improving data quality. Item versioning on names and descriptions enables users to track the full history of item definitions and regulatory references across releases. Enhanced compound property support allows DPM to explicitly represent compound properties and their underlying base properties, supporting more sophisticated business modelling scenarios. Organisational hierarchies can now be explicitly represented, allowing DPM to model different domains, departments or units within the same organisation and define their hierarchical relationships. Logical and physical frameworks can be explicitly classified, helping users distinguish conceptual models from implementation models. Modules can be classified according to their origin or purpose as reported, calculated or disseminated, providing greater transparency regarding how each module is used and managed. Naming consistency improvements standardise field names by replacing "Label" with "Name" in selected entities. Additionally, each module version can include its JSON taxonomy directly in the DPM database, making glossary usage and taxonomy information readily available to users. These enhancements support the broader objective of developing and maintaining a shared data dictionary while improving consistency and harmonisation of naming and labelling conventions across supervisory, resolution and statistical reporting.
