FYI: I've built a datapackage manager called datapak in ruby [1][2]. datapak supports the tabular datapackages (.csv with .json schema) from the frictionless data initiative (by the open knowledge foundation). All open source and public domain. See some examples such as the Standard&Poors 500. By default the datapackage gets auto-added from .csv to an in-memory SQLite database for easy querying etc. Thanks to ActiveRecord you can use PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.

- edraferi 9y agoVery interesting, I've heard of the Open Knowledge Foundation [1] but wasn't aware of the Frictionless Data Initiative [2]. Looks like it's complementary to Common Workflow Language [3] [1] https://okfn.org/ https://okfn.org/ [2] http://frictionlessdata.io/ http://frictionlessdata.io/ [3] http://www.commonwl.org/ http://www.commonwl.org/
