Data Together is a new model for distributed, community-driven stewardship of data. This model shows how groups of people, companies, institutions, NGOs, and governments can use decentralized and peer-to-peer web infrastructure to access, discover, verify, and preserve data they care about.

This site is not a centralized data hosting service. It’s a view onto the decentralized network of individuals, organizations, projects and communities who are using the Data Together model. Data Together is an ongoing, inclusive conversation, an open source community, a collaboration, a model, and a collection of tools, all of which are evolving quickly.
