Overview

Data Commons is an open source platform. Every entity/organization can create their custom Data Commons instance with their own data, customized website and visualization tools.

A custom instance natively joins the base Data Commons data (from datacommons.org) and the custom data in a unified fashion. Visualization and data analysis across these data can be done seamlessly without further alignment.

Custom Data Commons is deployed in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The owner has full control over data, computing resources and access control. It can be accessible by the general public or can be access controlled to limited principals.
