Important This documentation describes standalone Data Marketplace. If you are using the new Data Marketplace experience, go to About Data Marketplace (in preview) and the related configuration topics. The new Data Marketplace experience provides an upgraded, consumer-centric experience for discovering and accessing data assets.
Data Marketplace provides a unique search experience that can be based on relations between assets.
- Data Marketplace can find search results if they have a specific relation with the search term.
A data set, for example, can show up in the results if the data set contains a column with a name that matches the searched term. - Data Marketplace can provide filters to refine your search results based on specific relations.
Next to filters based on asset type, status, tags, creator, modification and creation date, you can also filter based on specific relations.
For example, you can filter the results for a specific data domain.
To make filtering and searching based on relations possible, Data Marketplace indexes specific relation paths. The out-of-the-box indexed relation paths are based on the Guided Stewardship metamodel.
Important
- Data Marketplace searches based on relations only if the Relation-based search setting is enabled.
- You can use a relation index to create a facet that filters assets based on related assets or the attributes of related assets. However, you can't use a relation index to create a facet that filters assets based on their own attributes. As a result, you can't link the first asset type in a relation path to an attribute. To create a filter facet based on attribute types, go to Attribute filter facets. Note that attribute facets don't apply to standalone Data Marketplace and the All results tab on the search page.
