A public page for every dataset

OrionGIS web 1.3.0Released 14 October 2026

Every dataset now has its own public page that anyone can open and share, Data Explorer is faster and lets you view or save any dataset in one click, and Orion staff run the catalogue from a new Data Discovery section.

Read the announcement: Every dataset on OrionGIS now has its own page

Changes since 1.2.0.

#New

  • A page for every dataset. Each dataset has one page at an address like /data/kenya/health/health-facilities-k7f3, with a map preview, description, columns, sample rows, publisher, licence, coverage and how to cite it. Anyone can open it, signed in or not, and search engines can find it.
  • Every action on the page. Open in map, Add to project, Save, Download and Ask OrionAI. If you are not signed in, choosing one takes you through a free sign-up and back to the page with the action done.
  • Share anywhere. Copy the link, or share it to WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X, Facebook or email. Shared links show the dataset's map preview.
  • Browse by place and theme. Pages for each country and region, each theme, and each place and theme together (for example, Kenya health data).
  • Report or request removal. A link on every dataset page sends a report to our data team.
  • Data Discovery for Orion staff. A new section of Admin to run the catalogue: portals, runs, datasets, the review queue, link health, search and growth, settings, roles and an audit log. It replaces the Data Factory, Extraction QA and Curator tabs.

#Improved

  • Data Explorer. Faster searches that match by keyword and by meaning together, View and Save buttons on every card and row, and a filter for hosted or discovered data.
  • Map previews. Dataset thumbnails are drawn on the Orion basemap, fitted to the data and styled by type, instead of a bare image on a whole-world view.
  • Old links keep working. Links to /dataset/<number> now open the dataset's page.
