The Splitgraph Data Delivery Network – query over 40k public datasets
>The single SQL endpoint is well suited for a data marketplace. Data vendors currently ship data in CSV files or other ad-hoc formats. They have to maintain pages of instructions on ingesting this data. With Splitgraph, data consumers will be able to acquire and interact with data directly from their applications and clients.I appreciate the effort to make it easier for users to access heterogeneous data sets, but I really hope data vendors keep shipping raw CSV files. I don't want a company to gate access to the data, merely offering a proxy. I want to be able to download the whole raw datasets from the vendor directly if I want to.
