This is a collaborative repository for developing tools on top of Data Commons APIs. Such tools may include visualization widgets, algorithms for detecting anomalous data, and more.

Data Commons is an Open Knowledge Graph that provides a unified view across multiple public data sets and statistics. We've bootstrapped the graph with lots of data from US Census, CDC, NOAA, etc., and through collaborations with the New York Botanical Garden, Opportunity Insights, and more. However, Data Commons is meant to be for community, by the community. We're excited to work with you to make public data accessible to everyone.

To see the extent of data we have today, browse the graph using our browser.
