You can publish a data offering in just a few clicks. The process to create an offering is designed to be as simple and fast as possible. No need to call your most experienced developer! By following our advice step by step, you will see your offering appear on the platform in just a few minutes, in public or private mode.
If you are unsure of which type of publication suits your needs and data, a publishing wizard is here to guide you step by step to the right type of publication. It is available in the “Publication” universe, by clicking on “Launch wizard”.
In the “Publication” menu, under the "Advanced publications" section, choose the relevant type of publication, and click on "Create".
Certify that you have all the necessary permissions to distribute the data.
Then follow these 6 steps:
Presentation: Highlight the specific features of your data offering by adding a title, entering a description and inputting the keywords you associate your offering with. You will also have the option to illustrate your offering by highlighting the different use cases your data could help with, and adding up to 8 different mediums from videos, to images to pdf.
Datasets: Add the file(s) you want to offer to your data acquirers, directly from your computer, or via a cloud connector, OR API : Add the API URL and configuration, either by uploading an OpenAPI file or by entering the details manually.
Metadata: Provide additional details about your data, such as the content in each file or in each endpoint. Add documentation to help your acquirers retrieve your data.
Compliance: Indicate whether your data sets contain personal data, and fill in the necessary information if this is the case. If your data is in file form, you can choose to define a retention date for the platform. Finally, a representative sample (data in file form) or a excerpt (data in API form) can be generated to illustrate the data offered to acquirers.
Distribution conditions: This is where you define one or more combinations of conditions for distributing your data. Each combination is made up of a user license and associated pricing conditions. Several licenses are available on the platform:
Open data license
Already existing license
Configurable license: This license has been designed by specialized lawyers and is fully configurable.
Once you have set up one or several combinations of licenses and pricing, you can choose the acquisition mode:
- Acquisition upon request: The data provider will have to validate the transaction between the two parties.
- Instant acquisition: The data purchaser will be able to receive the data instantly without the intervention of the data provider.
Visibility and sharing: Decide who can view or acquire your data on the platform, and who, within you organization, can view or edit the data offering in the "Publication" universe.
Once you have completed all six steps, you can see how your offering will appear for prospective acquirers by clicking on "Offering preview". If everything looks good, you may then click on "Publish my offering". You must then, accept the disclaimer stating that all necessary permissions and rights to provide this data are required priori to publishing the data offering.
