A white paper has been published summarising the outcomes of ADP2024 workshop on advanced data products. Advanced Data Products (ADPs) are increasingly central to enhancing the efficiency and scientific output of radio observatories. Designed to bridge the gap between raw observational data and science-ready results, ADPs reduce processing overhead, improve reproducibility, and enable a wider range of researchers to engage with complex datasets. The paper reviews current practices at major facilities including ALMA, SKAO, LOFAR, VLA, and ESO. Learning from current initiatives, it identifies critical issues and makes suggestions to address technical and organizational challenges.
