• Key Concepts: 
  External Data Part (EDP) is a component of the OPU-TNG Tango platform that allows users to access and manage external data sources. It provides a secure, unified interface for connecting to external data sources, such as databases, web services, and other applications. It also provides a set of tools for transforming and enriching the data before it is used in the application. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use EDP, users must first create a connection to the external data source. This can be done through the OPU-TNG Tango platform or through an external application. Once the connection is established, users can then access and manage the data from the external source. They can also transform and enrich the data before it is used in the application. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using EDP, it is important to ensure that all data sources are properly secured and that all connections are properly authenticated. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all data transformations are properly configured and tested before they are used in production.
