13.2 Publishing a Dataset in the BigML Gallery

You can make your dataset public for other BigML users. To accomplish this, put your dataset in the BigML Gallery:

1. We recommend you assign a proper name, category, and tags to the dataset you want to make public in the BigML Gallery. However, a description is mandatory. (See Chapter 11 to learn how to update your dataset descriptive information.)

2. By default your dataset will be private, since you haven not shared it yet. To share it, click the White Box icon. (See Figure 13.4 .)

   

3. A modal window will automatically appear asking for confirmation. Decide whether to share your dataset for free or sell it. Set the price you consider appropriate by just moving the dataset price slider. (See Figure 13.5 .)

   

4. Then, the gallery link automatically appears in the privacy panel and the status changes from “Private” to “White Box.” You can change the set price anytime by clicking the edit icon. (See Figure 13.6 .)

   

You can only share your own datasets. If you are using a dataset previously cloned, BigML will display a modal window (see Figure 13.7 ) stating you cannot share that dataset or sell it.
