Amazon Offers Public Datasets… Bibliographic?
Interesting news that Amazon is going to be offering large public datasets up to the public through it’s EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) web service. Some examples included will be the annotated human genome data, various US Census, transportation, and economic databases. I’ve got an idea for a dataset they could add… how about MARCXML records for all their books, videos, CDs, etc. With their collection, that would be a pretty good sized dataset. I’ve sent my suggestion in via email.
