As part of a recent programming project I compiled a database, the contents of which may conceivably be of use to someone else one day. I’m looking for the best way to ‘open source’ the data.
I could (and probably will) upload the SQL onto GitHub, but was wondering if anyone had found a more ‘data-centric’ way of sharing – maybe a website that makes it easy for users to browse/query/visualise/improve data sets, rather than just giving them a big lump of SQL.
To clarify, I’m looking for a place where I can share the data, rather than a format in which to share it – ideally a data-set equivalent of GitHub/Sourceforge.
The data is relatively small (a few thousand lines of SQL) so the volume should not be an obstacle.
I’m a big fan of Amazon’s S3 for stuff like this. And if your data set is interesting enough, maybe you could publish it with InfoChimps.
