0:01hello my name is Yusef and today I am excited to share with you this news databricks has announced the public preview of The databricks Marketplace so what's the databricks marketplace it's an Open Marketplace for all your data analysis and AI powered by the open source Delta sharing this approach allows data providers to
0:24program their addressable Market without forcing consumers into vendor login the databricks marketplace brings together a vast ecosystem of data consumers and data providers to share and collaborate across a wide array of data assets including data sets notebooks and models and more without any platform dependencies complicated ETL or
0:48expensive replication so why should I use database Marketplace you are a data consumer it will help you to accelerate Insight because you can discover evaluate and access more data products from third-party vendors quickly and if you are a provider you can commercialize new offers and shortened sales cycle by providing value added on
1:13the top of your data and now let's move to the demo so you just need to click on this button and then you have access is a large number of data assets you can of course list buy providers you can select any provider you want you can filter by categories what you're looking for Commerce demographics economics
1:36education Sports and you can also list free listings so for my case I will click on free and then I will look for the data a specific data set from my case I like demographics so I can just go and read the description the benefits the information including like the data assets and if I if I want to have access
1:59to this data I can just click on get instance access I should accept database terms and of course if I click on more options I can rename this catalog or I can keep the name as I want so I will click on get instant access and now I have access to this specific data
2:21to this specific data and what I will do I will go to my my notebook and I can or not only like go into notebook let's go to data Explorer so I will look for this catalog so John Snow Labs demographics I will click on demographics and now you see I have a
2:43large number of uh of tables for example like Bloomington Police Department of course what I should what I will do right now I will go to recent Sports Marketplace and then for example I can do select star from
3:05course limits of course this will list me like uh the data I have there but of course what you can do you can also go back to the marketplace and you can click on my request so and then you will see if you did a request to access the data and
3:28it's pending you will have the information over here and you can also see all the data that you have already requested over here and when uh of course it was installed and of course this when you are let's say uh we'll say a consumer and this now you can see I did access to this uh specific uh to this specific
3:50share so that's when you are let's say a consumer if you are a provider then you need you need to go to the account console and to Grant you the permission of being like a Marketplace administrator and this will grant you the permission to view this provider console so if I
4:13click on provider console the first thing you need to do is to ask the your representative to create your profiles this is the new profile this is super super important and then you can go to listings and I will create my first listing so for my case I will call my listing uh English football games
4:36and this includes scores of games for the last for example 10 years and then I will look for the provider profile that I should have like requested the terms of services so for my case that would be like this is just emo Ms data lab and then I had two options it's either like uh make the
5:00data uh instantly available or maybe I should ask like consumers to request the approv required approval so my case I will make it available instantly and then what I should do I should create my share so I would call it good volt score I'll create this share
5:22and of course within this year I will add my uh I will add my my uh my data and for my case what I will do I will add tables so I will look for football and it's called games season of course I need to Grant of
5:44course to create the share you need to Grant yourself the per the permission so I will go of course and go to all seasons and I will grant myself the perm all privileges I mean I I did create this uh uh I would Grant myself the privilege now I can go to Marketplace again
6:08add the data table so it's called football then it's called games I will go to season no it's all seasons and it's called games cleaned it's a table okay it has been added and now I can go
6:34back again to Marketplace and I can specify the categories of my case it's Sports I can add other attributes let's say the size so it's one gigabyte for example I can add like the access whether it's free free or bad I can like add graph with your graphic coverage so for
6:57example that would be Europe and then I can add attributes over here and say this is a football game score for the last 10 years you can for example use it to like uh games game score
7:20prediction of course and once I save this uh this listing I can add the notebook if uh if if I want so for my case what I did is I created uh uh this introduction to Marketplace so this is a notebook that I will uh that will that I will share so you can
7:43see the schema uh you can see the schema of the table which round team one team to the score you can see like for example just an expiration like number of games for the last 10 years for example I did like number of throws per year number of away win uh home win you can see the number of points scored by a specific team for each season most goals
8:06score so I did several several things for example here you can see like number of throws a win per year you can see goals you can also see goals per season so I can go back and add this notebook over here I can enter the link of documentation and then what I need to do just go and published this data set but you can also preview it for my case I can't
8:28since I don't have a profile but if I would be it will looks like the look likes this one of course and then you can just require this instance access I hope it was very useful and see you see you soon
