Organization admins can now edit multiple resources directly from the Organization Profile Page.
Community organizations support editing multiple datasets or projects that match the filters in the Resources tab.
Enterprise organizations also support editing multiple analyses, business terms, or tables.
Use the "None of the following" option in the Advanced Search Builder to exclude search results that match a specific value. This feature works with the logical NOT operator in our Advanced Search Syntax.
Expand and collapse controls are now available for the search filters sidebar to help you quickly locate available filtering options.
The Organization Profile Page is getting a facelift this week to offer more intuitive navigation, stronger support for custom catalog types, and richer discovery features.

This view operates much like the main search page with support for facets and advanced search syntax, all scoped to your organization's resources.
Searching for open data? Community organizations will now also have these search and filter options available on the new Resources tab.
Most analysts trying to find answers to business questions aren’t searching for tables and columns directly. What they are actually looking for is contextual information that accelerates time to business impact for data. data.world Concept Cards will change the way data consumers access data by providing a unique search experience no other catalog provider does or can do without the backing of a knowledge graph.
Concept Cards are a feature on data.world’s near-term roadmap to help users discover related people, resources, and other supporting information we can obtain from the knowledge graph about a given search topic. If there are suggested actions that can be taken for the topic itself or for related resources, access to those actions is surfaced directly in the search results.
These cards become a jumping off point to browse and discover new things on the platform that share something in common with the search topic of interest. We see these Concept Cards as the first of many intelligent recommendations we can make by harnessing the power of the knowledge graph.
The data.world public API supports several options for programmatically making updates to resources on the platform. PATCH is a method for making partial updates to individual records, such as adding tags, changing a description, or modifying a title.
In the next two weeks, we will be making a change to the way PATCH endpoints modify list values. We outline these changes below.
tag A , tag B] PATCH request is sent to /datasets/democorp/my-example-dataset with body: { "tags": [ "tag C", "tag D" ] }tag A, tag B, tag C ,tag D]PATCH request is sent to /datasets/democorp/my-example-dataset with payload: { "tags": [] }tag A, tag B, tag C ,tag D]tag A , tag B] PATCH request is sent to /datasets/democorp/my-example-dataset with body: { "tags": [ "tag C", "tag D" ] }tag C ,tag D]. tag A and tag B have been removed.PATCH request to /datasets/democorp/my-example-dataset with body: { "tags": [] }Today, PATCH can be used to add, modify, or remove fields for all non-list values. With the current merge logic, items can only be appended to list values using PATCH. As a consequence, if you want to remove or reorder the items in a list, you must use the PUT method, which does not support partial updates and requires a full overwrite of the existing record. The new logic to overwrite list values will allow users to make partial updates to records that remove or modify the order of items in the list without needing to modify the entire record.
This new logic primarily impacts tags, file labels, collections, and multi-select custom metadata fields.
