Bridges Data

Welcome to the Bridges Data site!

Our goal is to provide easy access to a growing collection of interesting open-source datasets.

Scroll down for a full list of datasets we currently support.

What is Bridges?

Bridges is an open-source software package to make learning data structures more interesting:

  • Built-in connections to real-world datasets reduces the overhead of reading and parsing datafiles
  • Visualization capabilities so you can debug, view, and share your data structures on the web

The BRIDGES project is funded by a TUES grant from the National Science Foundation
