The Wolfram Data Drop is an open service that makes it easy to accumulate data of any kind, from anywhere—setting it up for immediate computation, visualization, analysis, querying, or other operations.
The Wolfram Data Drop uses WDF (Wolfram Data Framework) to add semantics to data and make it computable.
Collections and time series of computable data are stored in named databins in the Wolfram Cloud and are instantly
accessible from all Wolfram Language and other systems. Quick Reference
