What You Learned
A Foundry dataset is a collection of columns, rows, schema, and values built with user-defined logic.
When dataset build logic runs, it executes one of several transaction types to produce a tabular structure common to most data platforms in the industry.
The Dataset Preview application gives you access to a dataset's build history and details, among other important information.
You can use the Dataset Preview's preview table to understand the data structure and to quickly explore dataset values.
Foundry enables you to construct data transformation pipelines that execute on a schedule that can be monitored for freshness, quality, and other measures. As an analyst, you can review these health checks to validate the data you're working with.
Contour is a low-code/no-code interface for analysis and dashboarding of large-scale tabular data that is not mapped to the Ontology.
