First of all, this looks like a great tool for datasets, thank you.
Do you have plans for adding file hashes to the datasets, e.g. sha256? This would make it a lot easier to integrate with other systems.
- benhamner 9y agoThanks and great point! Added this to our list
- amrrs 9y agoSorry for a noob, could you please explain how adding hashes would help in better integration?
- lgierth 9y agoThey mainly help in four ways: - avoid data corruption when downloading/transferring/copying datasets - notice changes/updates in the original dataset - dataset versioning (think how e.g. git turns directories and files into hash trees -- also called content-addressing) - most importantly: stable names without a naming authority
- prepend 9y agoHow does this apply when you can filter / conditional exports? Is the idea that the csv has a fixed hash and if you trust that, you can trust anything else?
