Dat is really exciting. A common format for sharing and hosting datasets, to say nothing of its versioning and transforming of data, is really necessary right now. I've been working on an open-source site that will act kind of like a Github for Dat[0][1]. I started four months ago, but decided that dat was still too unstable at the time to really build an API client against, so I'm waiting for at least an alpha release before going further. Super excited about the project though.
Currently, the site is just a bare-bones version that lets you submit the URL of a publicly available dataset, rather than including any actual dat integration. I'm planning on changing that though once dat becomes just a bit more stable.

- _prometheus 13y agoHey kcorbitt, cool stuff. I'm working with Max on dat. Before I knew about dat, I built http://datadex.io http://datadex.io (which is like an npm for datasets -- example: http://datadex.io/jbenet/cifar-100 http://datadex.io/jbenet/cifar-100 ). datadex will support dat data first class. Would be good to get your help when all this happens. :)
- mtrn 13y agoI like the Datadex idea and the promise to make datasets as easily accessible as source code repositories. I can see a number of use cases already for a standardized and fast way to collaborate on structured data sets.
