Hey kcorbitt, cool stuff. I'm working with Max on dat. Before I knew about dat, I built http://datadex.io (which is like an npm for datasets -- example: http://datadex.io/jbenet/cifar-100 ). datadex will support dat data first class. Would be good to get your help when all this happens. :)
I like the Datadex idea and the promise to make datasets as easily accessible as source code repositories. I can see a number of use cases already for a standardized and fast way to collaborate on structured data sets.
