Finding data sets

The number of data sets in any data repository can be huge. In Studio's Catalog, you can use search and Guided Navigation to find data sets and existing projects relevant to your analytical purpose.

After you log in, you see the Catalog: The Studio Catalog.

Here, you can:
  • Find data sets
  • Find existing projects
  • Add a data set to BDD

You can quickly look at a data set by clicking the tile to expand the Data Set Details panel. This displays the data set’s enriched metadata to provide a summary to help you decide if you'd like to explore this data set further:

Through the Catalog, you can:
  • Navigate data sets using a familiar keyword search and Guided Navigation experience similar to that found on major commerce sites.
  • Browse data sets based on name, metadata, attribute names, topics, dates, locations, or key terms.
  • Find related data sets that are potentially relevant to your interests based on overlapping data or frequent use by other users.
  • Filter displayed data sets based on data set metadata (such as the creation date, tags, notes, number of records, or contents of the data) and also by attribute metadata (such as semantic types).

Adding tags and notes to data sets

When you expand a data set to view the data set details, you can optionally add tags or notes that describe the data. All users can then filter data sets based on those tags, or run keyword searches that include text from the data set notes.

To add notes, click the description field below the data set name.

To add searchable tags, click the text field below Tags. To help you choose consistent tag names, autocomplete results may display as you type.
