By sharing transit data, Bengaluru hopes to make public transportation better and easier for everyone.

The Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA) package is a big collection of data for space medicine and biology. It was released on June 11, 2024. Over 100 institutions from 25 countries worked together on this project. The Open Science Data Repository (OSDR) team and the Ames Space Biosciences Division played a big role. By making this data free and open, the SOMA package helps promote teamwork and research in space biology.

Databricks has made Unity Catalog, a tool for data and AI governance, open-source. This means anyone can use and improve it. Unity Catalog helps manage data for over 10,000 organizations. It supports many data formats and compute engines, making it flexible and easy to use. By promoting open standards, Databricks shows the importance of transparency in data and AI.
