data.world is a data collaboration and distribution platform with a mission to build the world’s most collaborative, abundant, and meaningful data resource. data.world improves the search, discovery/understanding, and collaboration aspects of the "first-mile" of data work, where 80% of time is wasted. We believe that finding data should be easy, that preparing data should be painless and quick, that collaborating on data projects should be seamless, secure, and social, and that combining open data with closed data should be safe and productive.
