David,
This is an interesting question. I think that a dataset is just like
any other table such as the ones included in Wikipedia, with lots more
entries and maybe even pieces attached that can't go on Wikipedia such
as pictures, audio, short films, pieces of software code, or other
media.
So I guess this page should be merged with the DataNamespace page. The
problem is how to reference a dataset or table. Images on Commons are
timestamped with a source link that is often {{self}}, but more often
a weblink somewhere that may or may not die within a year or two.
Since the image is something that you can't really change easily, this
is generally not an issue, but how do you see this with data that can
be manipulated? I don't really see how you can upload datasets as
whole "blobs" that will keep all the pieces together the way a .djvu
file keeps the text with the images.
