This May, data.world’s navigation is getting more powerful and even easier to use – we’re adding a Discover button! Preview the changes today to discover all the resources you have access to with a single click.

• Discover will be added to the navigation to show you all the resources that you can find.
• Data, Analysis, and Glossary will be removed from the navigation.

The Discover experience transforms the empty search page into an actionable entry point for all of your resources—whether organization-owned or in the open community.

Switch to the All tab to reference up to 25 of your recently viewed resources and jump back in where you left off.

Look for the Preview banner to try out the new navigation and Discover experience today. Review the updated documentation or share your feedback.

The new and improved Organization Profile Page is the default landing page for all organizations across data.world.

Learn about the Core Navigation changes that redirect all organization-specific links to this page, or watch the walk-through videos to learn about the updated functionality you'll find here.

enterprise Enterprise Organizations

Create and manage organization-level resources and connections in a consolidated experience—tailored to your level of access. Discover data faster with custom filters and advanced search syntax for all catalog resources and glossary terms.

community Community Organizations

Share information about your organization with the data.world community, curate datasets and projects, and manage memberships—all from the Organization Profile Page.

improvement Organization-level Connections

Create and manage database connections for your organization as an admin—whether syncing data to your Community datasets or collecting catalogs as an Enterprise organization.

In January, the updated Organization Profile Page will replace existing organization-specific landing pages with a consolidated experience.

Organization members and admins will be able to search, create, and manage resources, collections, members, connections, and more in one place.

Landing pages that will be replaced with the new Organization Profile Page will feature a banner with a link to preview the new experience.

The organization landing page will redirect to the new Organization Profile Page.

Now	Coming Soon

Organization-specific library and list views will redirect to the Resources tab on the new Organization Profile page, with more advanced filtering options.

Now	Coming Soon

For enterprise organizations, the Glossary landing page will redirect to a new Glossary tab on the Organization page, also with improved filtering options.

Now	Coming Soon

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. 

Browse the Overview tab for quick links to different resource categories in your catalog. The quick link tiles will take you to a filtered presentation of the new Resources tab. 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.

Business context

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.

Capabilities

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.

Existing Merge Behavior

Lists are merged with existing values on PATCH requests

1. A dataset has tags: [tag A , tag B] 
2. A PATCH request is sent to /datasets/democorp/my-example-dataset with body: { "tags": [ "tag C", "tag D" ]  }
3. The dataset is updated to reflect tags: [ tag A, tag B, tag C ,tag D]
4. A PATCH request is sent to /datasets/democorp/my-example-dataset with payload: { "tags": []  }
5. No change is applied and the tags remain: [ tag A, tag B, tag C ,tag D]

New Replace Behavior

Lists replace existing values on PATCH requests

1. A dataset has tags: [tag A , tag B] 
2. A PATCH request is sent to /datasets/democorp/my-example-dataset with body: { "tags": [ "tag C", "tag D" ]  }
3. The dataset is now updated to have tags: [ tag C ,tag D].  tag A and tag B have been removed.
4. I send a PATCH request to /datasets/democorp/my-example-dataset with body: { "tags": []  }
5. The dataset has been updated to remove all tags.

Why we are making this change

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.
