Showcase Design

A dataset or project showcase is the main page for a dataset or data project. Think of this as equivalent to the GitHub repo homepage or GitLab project home page.

Showcase is used because the page is the primary presentation or "showcase" of the dataset or project.

Something like this:

Research

• 2022-02-15 Figma with dataset showcase page research: https://www.figma.com/file/oJjkJH4ULP5WWeLIDuKv03/Default-Dataset-Page

Qus:

• do we want title or "name" (github has more geeky slug. Similarly on gitlab). Do people want a proper title though? I think yes IME.
• This also goes for question of org name

Observations

• Github is more no-nonsense
• Kaggle is more data-y but a bit busy somehow. Description length is handled with concertina aspect which i’m not sure is great.
• Kaggle seems to orient to one data file per dataset.
• Gitlab is crowded and UI feels so-so

Thoughts on tabs:

• Data: root page
• APIs: list of APIs for this dataset
• Notebooks: ?

Github

Kaggle
