data.world is the modern catalog for data and analysis. It helps bring data out of silos to make it accessible and impactful for everyone in a company, regardless of whether they’re a “data person.”
data.world already has the world’s largest collaborative data community, and is currently building a data marketplace to address the external data industry.
My internship was within data.world’s data marketplace team, helping build both supply and demand.
Suppliers are the providers of data, such as PeopleDataLabs and Corelogic, that data.world wants to partner with. These providers would put their data on data.world's marketplace for better visibility + selling power. Below are the different things I did during my internship to build supply.
Purpose: Map the current supply of data vendors present in various marketplaces to determine the optimal placement for data.world's marketplace.
Purpose: Demonstrate how a customer of external data would evaluate a sample dataset using the data.world catalog. This emphasizes the marketplace's integration with the catalog, significantly reducing friction for customers and thus persuading vendors to join the marketplace.
