I think the first step is to publish the datasets that you already have. Datasette is a good tool for that. The second step is to make it discoverable. Google has a dataset search service[1] and that is based on schema.org markups[2], which are pretty easy to include on your web page. In addition to that it would probably be a good idea to send a mail this list when you publish a dataset and it may also be a good idea to keep a catalog of all the datasets referenced in this mailing list in a github repo.
