Welcome to 'odit', the Open Data Integration Tool
This tool has not been built. This documentation is a sketch for a potential functional design.
This tool is for downloading, publishing, sharing and versioning open, licensed data. It is particularly focused on scientific use cases, but has widespread application to data science in general as well as engineering applications. It does not replace database functionality within an application, but allows specific data sets and feeds to be more easily shared and managed between computers and users.
