Spotlight on Five New Additions to Databricks Marketplace

Highlighting over 40 new data providers in one blog is like trying to binge-watch 42 shows in one night—it's just too much to take in at once!

So, we are particularly excited to highlight five new launches - Intercontinental Exchange, Shutterstock, Trilliant Health, OLAP Trader, and BCMstrategy. They were all hand-picked for their unique offerings across multiple industries and supporting notebooks, which significantly enhanced the user experience by facilitating easy exploration and visualization. Upcoming data providers - rise above the rest with these unique strategies!

1. Assess Climate Risk Data Insights for Municipal Bond Markets with ICE

Intercontinental Exchange, a leading global provider of data, technology, and market infrastructure, listed on Databricks Marketplace.

The dataset provides insights into how physical climate risks, such as exposure to floods, wildfires, and hurricanes, are quantified and ranked for municipal bond offerings.

Data scientists can use time-series analysis to identify historical trends in municipal bond pricing and correlate these trends with climate risk data over time. For example: This can help evaluate how a coastal city's municipal bonds might be affected by sea-level rise or how a drought-prone region's bonds are at risk due to water scarcity.

2. 1st content-based listing from Shutterstock

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking collaboration that brings the vast collection of Shutterstock imagery to the Databricks Marketplace — our first listing of Volume (aka non-tabular or file-based) datasets on our Marketplace. This free sample dataset, which consists of 1,000 images and accompanying metadata sourced from Shutterstock's 550+ million image library, is available for immediate access.

What are the possible use cases with Shutterstock image datasets? Imagine a fictitious retailer, Berkeley FoodMart, with 50,000 products in its store and a 20% turnover each year. It struggling to manually maintain descriptions for all products. Now, it can leverage the Shutterstock dataset with its robust metadata to build the image-to-text model to generate metadata and keywords from new product images. Shutterstock image datasets would be fully curated for Berkeley FoodMart to safely build their model with clear data origins. They'll use these keywords with an LLM to generate user-friendly product descriptions.
