Start with a question or task

Through hundreds of interviews with people who work with data, we have found that most work stems from a question rather than a particular set of data. It's the question that drives the search for relevant data, generating insights, and presenting reproducible findings, yet there hasn't been a great way to keep all your work in one place--not to mention collaborate easily with others on the project.

That's what we hope to address with Projects on data.world. Projects help you to capture and share the most important aspects of your work as the project unfolds, even across multiple datasets, from question to conclusion. 

With data projects you can:

• Keep all project data in a single place by:
  • finding and linking existing data.world datasets,
  • creating and linking your own data.world datasets (great option if others might benefit from your data!),
  • or by uploading files and data directly to the project.
• Add people as contributors or viewers to your project and see the project activity stream.
• Use the workspace to document, explore, query and chart any of the local or linked data and files.
• Share and discuss insights as you go.

Check out some of our favorite projects below, or jump straight into creating your own!

• Are dog size and intelligence linked?

• What does Census data tell us about politics?

• Eaten by Raptors?

Once you've explored projects, we'd love to hear from you! Please contact us with any questions or feedback, or join our Slack community to connect with the data.world team and it's members.
