Public datasets

Public datasets are collections of data that are made available for free to the public, allowing individuals and organizations to access, modify, and share the information. These datasets can cover a wide range of topics, including government statistics, scientific research, social media interactions, and more. They are valuable resources for data analysis, machine learning, and various research projects.

One prominent source of public datasets is Data.gov, which catalogs over 280,000 datasets managed by U.S. federal, state, local, and tribal government entities. This platform simplifies the process of finding and acquiring data through downloads or APIs, making it easier for users to access the information they need for their projects ².

Additionally, platforms like Google BigQuery offer public datasets that can be accessed and integrated into applications, with a free tier available for users to get started ⁵. These datasets often come with documentation to help users understand their structure and how to query them effectively.
