Jane,
Thanks for your input! I never thought as datasets as incorporating images,
but just as a table (whose elements might point to images, but not contain
them). Are people in the GLAM scene expecting other files embedded when
talking about datasets?
Well, if it is a standard format (csv or json), then it is easy to keep the
whole dataset together, you just need to consider it a text file, and then
you upload a new one, like any other file in Commons :)

David,
This is an interesting question. I think that a dataset is just like
any other table such as the ones included in Wikipedia, with lots more
entries and maybe even pieces attached that can't go on Wikipedia such
as pictures, audio, short films, pieces of software code, or other
media.
So I guess this page should be merged with the DataNamespace page. The
problem is how to reference a dataset or table. Images on Commons are
timestamped with a source link that is often {{self}}, but more often
a weblink somewhere that may or may not die within a year or two.
Since the image is something that you can't really change easily, this
is generally not an issue, but how do you see this with data that can
be manipulated? I don't really see how you can upload datasets as
whole "blobs" that will keep all the pieces together the way a .djvu
file keeps the text with the images.

Thanks for the pointer, "How can I put this

Thanks for your comment!

Thanks Micru! I think we should start by
including datasets on
wikisource, with descriptions about them (storing the files on commons
where possible). And adding more data formats to the formats
accepted on commons.
I don't follow you... why would you put datasets on Wikisource when they
are only used in Wikipedia and have to be stored somewhere else? As it is
now, it doesn't seem a good dataset management solution.
Besides that it would conflict with its identity as repository for
textual
sources..
About Commons I don't know if it is relevant to their mission as a
sharing
media platform either... I hope someone from
their community can share
their views.
Thanks for the input,
Micru
