neutral override

i was wondering if you guys have access to all of the vehicles in your databases neutral override instructions or information. my boyfriend owns a towing company and we could really use something that gives us this information quickly when out on a job with a vehicle weve never dealt with before.

The Swiss DCAT-AP-CH interoperability metadata template and its DCAT export have been updated 🇨🇭

They are now fully compatible with the latest version of DCAT-AP-CH (v2) and its recent updates.🚀 By using this metadata template, your portals will be fully harvestable by opendataswiss, the Swiss national portal. Indeed, opendataswiss has recently updated its metadata validation system in line with DCAT-AP-CH v2.⚠️ Until opendataswiss migrates to opendata.swiss next (planned for 2026), importing non-compliant metadata on opendataswiss will remain possible but will trigger error emails. We therefore recommend updating your DCAT-AP-CH metadata now for optimal harvesting.💡 What should you pay particular attention to?opendataswiss checks are now more thorough. All mandatory metadata must be present and accurate. The compliance of recommended and optional properties, if provided, is also checked. Make sure to review the completeness and accuracy of your metadata. the dct:license metadata replaces dct:rights. The dct:license metadata refers to the terms of use of datasets on opendataswi

Time down to the secondOpen

We have a few datasets that are logs of time - telemetry sensors is an example. At this point in time we can only display data up to a minute level and want to be able to display (and have exportable) to the second.

Filters on custom view/page but have one visual ignore a particular selection

I have a page:https://cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/test-emergency-admissions-for-copd-icp-outcomes-framework-birmingham-and-solihull-wards/insightWhich has 4 filters on that I want t o affect the majority of the visuals. However, for the map I want this to ignore anything made to the 3rd filter “area_name” but respect all other filters. How can I achieve this?I have tried the following either as its own context or as part of the main one at the start of the page but it just wont listen<ods-dataset-context context="mapctx" mapctx-dataset="{{ ctx.dataset.datasetid }}" mapctx-parameters="{ 'refine.date'= ctx.parameters['refine.date'], 'refine.time_period_range'= ctx.parameters['refine.time_period_range'], 'refine.ethnicity'= ctx.parameters['refine.ethnicity'], 'refine.imd':'ALL' }">

Favourite/Subscribed dataset functionalityOpen

Hi!Im aware that users can subscribe to datasets, given us a easy method to contact, but could we possible add a subscribed filter for users within the data catalogue? This way users can take advantage of the feature as a “favourite” kind of functionality, and aid with their navigation. I think it would also increase the % of users that then subscribe to datasets, making it easier for us as admins

Ann Lutman is listed in your data base as arriving in Australia on the Persian in 1827. I think that was her departure date, I think it was 10th April 1827. I have no problem with this which is what I think did happen.If I search your data base further using Ann Lutman’s maiden name of Ann Williams I find she sailed on the Sovereign ship July 12 1827 and again as Ann Williams on the Louisa ship she August 21 1827.Are these 3 entries in fact all about the same person.Among my records I have 2 different convict numbers 47935 also 43766.I carn’t remember where or how I now have TWO numbers for her. Do your records include Convicts number which might help my search? Yours, Laurie Hudgson

Upcoming update to the FTP/SFTP extraction process (action required) ⏳

From September 30, our extraction system for FTP and SFTP sources will be updated to ensure better consistency between your published datasets and their original source.🔎 What’s changingCurrently, extracted files are cached even if they are deleted from the source. With the new process, only files that are present in your external source at the time of republishing will be kept. Deleted files will no longer be retained in Opendatasoft.👉 Actions to take before September 30If there are deleted files still stored in your cache, you can:Keep them by adding them back to your source, or by exporting your current dataset and reintegrating it into the source. Permanently delete them by clearing the cache for the relevant datasets, starting from a clean slate. 🚀 Benefits of this updateFaster and smoother loading in the back office Data is always aligned with your external source Improved traceability of extraction errors💡 Need help?Contact your Customer Success Manager, our Support

Shaping data to work better with the AI tools

Does anyone have any tips on how to shape data in our portals to work better with the AI tools? The concern from our leadership is someone will ask a question and if the data contains too many filterable items it could return an incorrect result.Is there any guidelines on how to better shape the data to make it easier for AI to understand and provide results?

Studio Maps to provide summarised number at point of location

Are there plans to add more mapping capability for Studio Maps - for example clusters, dots and shapes and heat maps - same functionality that is shown in Map Builder?

Refinement by excluding a value possible?

As I’m trying to create a page with the code editor, I’m facing an issue with the refinement of datasets.To automate a line chart for different contexts, so that I can select one dataset of a list of many datasets and use the same ods-chart tag, I want to refine all the contexts before referencing on them in the chart widget. But the important aspect of my question is this: For this refinement, it would be more convenient for me to define the values that should be excluded, instead of the ones that should be included.Is there a possibility to do so?Thank you all in advance! :)

Automation of dataset usage Statistics

Hello,Using the dataset named “ods-api-monitoring”, I am able to know the number of download for a specific dataset. However, I would like to perform this task every month, that’s why I want to automate this process using python. I tried to filter the dataset and take the link of the csv generated in order to upload it on python. Nevertheless, I have an error while launching the program, it seems that it has a link with the authentification on the plateform. Do we have access to an API for the dataset “ods-api-monitoring” ? Or is there another recommended way to retrieve this information?Thank you for your help.Best regards,Eva Berry
