A sad owl mascot, waving goodbye

A fond farewell

Goodbye, and thank you.


It is with profound gratitude to the multitude of users who made this community what it was over the last decade that we announce the retirement of the data.world Open Data Community, discontinued as of July 13, 2026, following our acquisition by ServiceNow in 2025.

Bringing together contributors ranging from hundreds of academic institutions and government bodies to the millions of members of our open data community over the last ten years, the journey has been truly unforgettable. We here at data.world have been proud of what we have built together and amazed every step of the way to see what happens when a community comes together around open data.

Though the Open Data Community is discontinued, we hope the spirit of open data will persevere in all corners of the world, shining a brilliant light to guide the world forward.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
