Exploring the BigQuery public datasets
Collecting large volumes of data is fundamental to developing machine learning use cases. This kind of activity is considered one of the most painful jobs in the data management field. In fact, it requires tools and best practices to regularly monitor and gather information from the physical world to translate it into data. Thanks to the Cloud Public Datasets Program, we are allowed to use data that has already been collected and ingested into BigQuery.
The BigQuery public datasets are available in the Datasets section of the Google Cloud Marketplace and are publicly available and ready to use for all GCP users. A list of all the datasets is reachable at this URL: https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/browse?filter=solution-type:dataset.
