It was designed as part of the dat ecosystem — Max Ogden&rsquo;s effort to create a Git-like distributed version control system for datasets. SLEEP defines how to store tabular data with built-in indexing so that consumers can seek to specific rows without reading the entire file, and verify integrity via a Merkle tree structure.</p>
