dat

Do any of you have experience with dat?

I've been trying to think about how this might relate to psData. Overall, they aim to address similar issues, with psData being a bit more focused on one type of data and usage from R.

I wonder if it is worth exploring using dat as a backend, or some other integration.

dat looks very promising and certainly closely related but no experience so far; but psData may fill its particular niche for R/paneldata better, I think there is a genuine need for good tools on that.

I think that is probably right that psData fills a particular niche.

Just thinking if there is anything to learn or even directly draw on. I especially like the data version control for third party data. Anyways, something to think about.
