# Dataset publication

Publishing datasets involves making datasets available for purchase, allowing users to acquire high-quality datasets for use. Buying datasets from the marketplace has several advantages:

  • Access to diverse data - marketplace-published datasets provide users with access to a wide range of diverse data, enabling the creation of models that can accurately detect and classify various objects.

  • Time efficiency - purchasing datasets from a marketplace saves valuable time that would otherwise be spent on data collection and annotation, allowing users to focus on model development.

  • Accelerated model development - pre-labeled datasets from the marketplace accelerate model development by providing high-quality training data. Users can quickly adapt their models for specific object detection and classification tasks.

To publish a dataset, go to the Owned datasets. Hover over the gear icon next to the selected dataset. Select Publish.
