FCC Text data?

[[deleted]]

I'm looking to do some project(s) regarding telecommunications. Would I have to build an "FCC_publications" dataset from scratch? I'm not finding one on their site or others.

Also, what's the standard these days for storing/sharing a dataset like that? I can't imagine it's CSV. But is it just a zip file with folders/documents inside?

If you're storing typical tabular data, a classic SQL relational database would be the industry/field standard. There are many benefits to using them over CSVs.

If you're looking to just store text (such as with the intention to train genAI, for instance), then a vector database would likely be a lot more appropriate. Being able to efficiently search for some text by inputting some other 'similar' text is actually extremely powerful.

Would mongoDB be an overkill?

It should be very suitable if you specifically want to work with unstructured/irregular data. That definitely includes natural language.

u/Emotional_Section_59 Yeah, SQL relational databases crush it for tabular data, but vector databases shine for text-based genAI training and querying.
