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.

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.
Explore data.world's rich advanced search syntax with the Search Builder tool on our main search page. This friendly form helps you construct more complex searches with multiple filters, logical operators, categories, and custom metadata fields. The Search Builder can be accessed by selecting the "Advanced" option above the filters list on the main search page.
This release also includes changes to our main search page. You'll notice a new layout on the All Results tab that shows the top 3 search hits by type for your term. This tab now shows more results per page and gives users a high level overview of the types of resources they can find on the platform. Hover over the circular "i" icon for more details about the result. More targeted results can be viewed on the Resources tab. You'll also notice changes to the category tabs at the top of the page. Resources, Organizations & People, Comments, and Columns each have their own tailored search experience.
The new search experience is available today for select users and will be available for all users early next week.
We're happy to announce the beta release of our new Postgres Proxy support. Our goal is to allow any BI and data science tools which support PostgreSQL, to connect to directly with data.world. No 3rd party integration support required!
data.world provides a federated engine to query data from multiple data systems simultaneously, at the source. By using Postgres Proxy, it’s now easier than ever to extend these capabilities to your favorite analysis tools for quickly accessing and creating value from data.
To connect to data.world using the proxy, simply create a new PostgreSQL connection, configured as follows:
host: postgres.data.world
port: 5432
user: {your data.world user id}
pass: {read/write token}
db: agentid/datasetidYou can find your read/write token in the user settings. If you have any issues or questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
Note: for single tenant customers, set host to postgres.{site}.data.world.
