Tons of information exists out there on the people, area and programs that you work on that could add serious value to your projects, but often that information isn't easily accessible, isn't stored in a standard format or system, and bottom line isn't maximized. The push to break data out of their silos is gaining momentum, with several governments leading the charge, including the U.S. government with efforts like Data.gov that make large swaths of data accessible, usable, and downloadable from one place.

Flatstore helps accomodating large data sets. It is a storage API that dynamically allocates tables for two dimensional data, relates tables to each other and generates Schema and Views information on the fly. Together with FeedAPI you can use Flatstore to import arbitrary data from CSV or XML and expose it with Views instantly.
