From the post:
At Kaggle, we want to help the world learn from data. This sounds bold and grandiose, but the biggest barriers to this are incredibly simple. It’s tough to access data. It’s tough to understand what’s in the data once you access it. We want to change this. That’s why we’ve created a home for high quality public datasets, Kaggle Datasets.
Kaggle Datasets has four core components:
- Access: simple, consistent access to the data with clear licensing
- Analysis: a way to explore the data without downloading it
- Results: visibility to the previous work that’s been created on the data
- Conversation: forums and comments for discussing the nuances of the data
Are you interested in publishing one of your datasets on kaggle.com/datasets? Submit a sample here.

Unlike some medievalists who publish in the New England Journal of Medicine, Kaggle not only makes the data sets freely available, but offers tools to help you along.
Kaggle will also assist you in making your datasets available as well.
