Data Hub

Principal Investigator David Karger

Co-investigators Stephen Buckley , Samuel Madden , Kent Larson , Alex 'Sandy' Pentland


Developed by the Database Group at CSAIL, led by Madden et al., DataHub, is a scalable, hosted platform for organizing, managing, sharing, collaborating, and making sense of data. Think of it as a mashup of github and postgreSQL, accessible through your web browser. It provides an efficient platform and easy to use tools/interfaces for:

(*) Publishing of your own data (hosting, sharing, collaboration)
(*) editing and deleting your own data
(*) Using other’s data (querying, linking)
(*) Making sense of data (analysis, visualization)

The platform will allow testing of new frameworks and applications for collecting and managing personal data, including the Open Personal Data Store (OpenPDS) architecture.
