rgardaphe··on I Want Decentralized Version Control for Structured Data
You may want to have a look at qri "query" - https://qri.io (disclosure, I work there).

Free & open-source tools for dataset versioning built on IPFS (the distributed web). Qri datasets contain commit histories, immutable hashes for each version (commit), schema info, metadata, readmes, & transform scripts, all of which ride together with the data (or, body).

Latest versions of our CLI tools support SQL & version diffing. We also have an electron app, Qri Desktop (https://qri.io/desktop)

I'm promoting the latest release of Qri -pronounced ‘query’- (0.6.1), a free and open source dataset version control system / network for finding, collaborating on and publishing open datasets on IPFS. It's a kind of git/github just for open datasets.

rgardaphe··on Why Jupyter is data scientists’ computational notebook of choice
This is a super valuable perspective! We (https://qri.io) are building a kind of git/github for datasets and are hoping to talk to would-be users about just this issue. Would love to have your feedback on it (particularly on how commits are registered). Mind if I ping you at the email address you listed? - Rico

We're building something just like that at qri (https://qri.io) a free and open source dataset version control system. Right now all datasets on qri are public by default, but we're working toward supporting. encryption and private networks.
