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. </p> <p><a href="http://svn3.cvsdude.com/vvc/devseed/sandbox/drupal-6/flatstore/">Flatstore</a> 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 <a href="http://svn3.cvsdude.com/vvc/devseed/sandbox/drupal-6/feedapi_flatstore">FeedAPI</a> you can use Flatstore to import arbitrary data from CSV or XML and expose it with <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views">Views</a> instantly.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-bio-booklet"> <div class="field-label">Speaker bio:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Alex Barth (http://www.developmentseed.org) builds Drupal web sites since &#039;06 and loves aggregation.
