Google dataset search

Recently Google launced a new service aiming to index local, public and national data repositories: Google Dataset Search.

Dataset Search lets you find datasets wherever they’re hosted, whether it’s a publisher's site, a digital library, or an author's personal web page.

Google also developed guidelines for dataset providers to describe their data in a way that search engines can better understand the content of their pages.

The approach is based on an open standard for describing this information (schema.org) and anybody who publishes data can describe their dataset this way.

The engine also links, where possible, the dataset to Google Scholar articles using them.
