Yuri and others, I asked not long ago in Commons and there is no opposition as long as it is for supporting visualizations. It would require modifying what is allowed in commons, though. There are interesting comments on the talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/How_to_deal_with_open_datasets
Data.wikisource.org could be another option, but it would require more effort to set up, and some time for discussions.
