Look for this new feature in upcoming data.world releases!
Here's a sneak peek of what to expect:
We are updating the way we present contributors and visibility for datasets and projects. Currently, we have a top level Access tab that controls individual access, and a Visibility section in the Settings tab that controls whether the dataset/project is open, private, or discoverable to the community. To minimize confusion and complexity, we are combining and redesigning these settings into a single pane of glass to simplify understanding and control of “who can see this resource."
This is how the experience will look from a data consumer's perspective:
This is now the experience will look from an admin's perspective:
Relevant data partners now appear at the top of some search results as featured results, making it easier to find high-quality, reliable datasets in search. Featured results are disabled for private installs.

Look for this new feature in upcoming data.world releases!
Here's a sneak peek of what to expect:
You'll soon see a new banner above your search results highlighting the number of matched column results for your query. You can navigate to your column results either by clicking the banner or using the result type dropdown below the search bar.
Column search surfaces tables within datasets or projects that contain matched columns, and individual column records defined in your metadata catalog. This feature will be available for data.world enterprise and community users.
We recently added search as a feature of our public API.
These new endpoints support searching for datasets, projects, insights, queries, tables, collections, files, glossary terms, and analysis resources.
We offer two options:
Here is a roundup of some of the key features we released in 2020, including search improvements, 'Collection' management UX enhancements, query log reporting, and more.
Windowed aggregations partition the results from a SQL query into groups in order to perform calculations across adjacent rows of the query result. You can read more about windowed aggregations and see examples of their usage on data.world in our SQL documentation.
Here is a list of all the new windowed functions with links to their reference pages:
We're proud to announce that two new metadata collectors are now available for enterprise customer use in private beta -- Power BI (business intelligence and data visualization) and DBT (next-gen data transformation). Let us know if you'd like to get your hands on the early versions of these collectors.
As we get closer to general availability, we'll be releasing more information on these exciting expanded metadata and discovery capabilities!
Did you know a resource on data.world, like a table, business term, or dashboard, can belong to multiple collections?
We've now made it easy to pick which collections a resource belongs to: simply click "Edit" on the resource page, then pick & choose which collections the resource should appear in and save those changes.
For example, if you had a business term in a "Sales" collection, you can now easily add that same business term to your "Finance" and "Customer Service" collections with only a few clicks.
Likewise, if you wanted to move a resource from one collection to another, you can click "Edit" on the resource page, select the new collection, de-select the existing collection, and save that change.
Customers who use Open collections can create a resource in a private collection, and only when it's ready for global consumption, add it to the Open collection.
We've also recently added the ability to create collections in the UI - read more about that here.
Stay tuned for editing collections in the API, and allow collections to be edited in bulk!
