About Data Marketplace
Data Marketplace makes data discovery easy for everyone in the organization by allowing searching in a curated subset of assets.
-
- Data Marketplace makes searching for data easier because specific filters, also referred to as filter facets, are available to refine the search results. For example, you can search for data based on specific relations between assets.
Data Marketplace variants
In Collibra, you have the following Data Marketplace variants.
Standalone Data Marketplace
Standalone Data Marketplace is a dedicated search portal in Collibra Platform that needs to be enabled. With the correct permissions, standalone Data Marketplace provides data consumers, such as analysts, data scientists, and data engineers, with a user-friendly search interface to browse a curated subset of assets, preview these assets, and request the data they need.
Administrators can:
- Make only the relevant and high-quality data available for organization-wide use.
- Create a tailored search experience.
- Encourage interaction via contextualized workflows.

Data Marketplace in Search
Data Marketplace in Search integrates Data Marketplace into the Collibra Platform search. With the correct permissions, data consumers can have the Data Marketplace experience on the Collibra search page, providing them access to a curated subset of assets.
This feature is available only in the latest UI.

Moving from standalone Data Marketplace to Data Marketplace in Search
If you have configured standalone Data Marketplace before and want to configure Data Marketplace in Search, consider the following:
- Your current configuration of the Data Marketplace scope, filter facets, relation indexes, asset preview actions, and update emails are automatically applied to Data Marketplace in Search. Any changes you make will apply to both Data Marketplace variants.
- Quick filters available in Data Marketplace in Search are not the same as the ones defined in standalone Data Marketplace. You will need to configure them separately. Note that quick filters apply to all users. To create a filter for a specific user group, use a search filter.
- The available search filters in Data Marketplace in Search aren't the same as the personal saved filters and preconfigured filter tabs in standalone Data Marketplace. Personal saved filters will need to be configured as a search filter. If you want to provide preconfigured filters to a specific group, you will need to configure them as a search filter.
- Any landing page configuration applies only to standalone Data Marketplace.
