This public resource provides information about 400,000 bills introduced in the U.S. Congress, currently 1947-2002, along with extensive information about each bill's progress and sponsor. It is used by researchers to study legislative institutions and behavior; by policy experts to study issue attention in Congress; and even by citizens studying their family histories (the dataset provides the only digitized records of tens of thousands of private bills introduced between 1947 and 1972). organized in a format that facilitates quantitative studies. the only digitizedsource for information about the 200,000 bills introduced between 1947 and 1972.
The Web Ecology Project is an interdisciplinary research group based in Boston, Massachusetts focusing on using large scale data mining to analyze the system-wide flows of culture and community online. In addition to the task of understanding culture on the web through quantitative research and rigorous experimentation, we are attempting to build a science around community management and social media. To that end, we are building tools and conducting research that enable planners to launch data-driven campaigns backed by network science. twitter archive.
The new Business Dynamics Statistics are a product of the Center for Economic Studies of the U.S. Census Bureau. The annual series describes establishment-level business dynamics along dimensions absent from similar databases including firm age and firm size. The new data series provides researchers with a tool to gain insight into the dynamics of a changing economy. Business Dynamics Statistics are created from the Longitudinal Business Database (LBD), a confidential database available to researchers throughout the network of Census Research Data Centers.
The Guardian collected and republished a series of public domain figures about the United States including Deaths and casualties in Iraq, Poverty rates by State, Public debt, etc.
Researchers need to adapt their institutions and practices in response to torrents of new data and need to complement smart science with smart searching.
Gapminder World is powered by Trendalyzer and Google Spreadsheet. there are video-tutorials in the "help pages" available in the upper left corner of Gapminder World.
Fatality Analysis Reporting System data from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). FARS data can be obtained by downloading any of the published files from the Internet, at ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/FARS. The files are available in SAS, DBF and sequential ASCII file formats.
We are a young team of photographers from the Ruhr-Area and the Sauerland (Area between Lüdenscheid and Winterberg/Willingen). Our project is to show all existent german locomotive classes from the DB AG on that page. You will find also actually railway-news on the homepage.
Appunta is a Framework for the Android platform that allows us not only to easily show geopositional information to the user, but also to create new ways of showing this information or modifying the existing ones.
Basically, you have a set of POI (Points Of Interest) located in a map (thus, with a latitude, longitude, and optionally, an altitude), and you need to show these POI and their related information to the user.
Appunta allows you, out of the box, to represent this information in two different ways, a radar or an augmented reality view. But, you can modify these components to show data in other ways or create new ways of visualizing this information.
Appunta is Open Source and anybody can freely use it. So, what are you waiting for?
[Previous: Standards as a shared structure for data] [Next: Data integration methodologies for systems biology] What are ontologies? 1 Introduction Controlled vocabularies, often just a list of agreed-upon terms, have been used to describe data since the early releases of the first biological databases such as EMBL [1] and Swiss-Prot [2]. As data handling in the life…
DbVisualizer offers features for database developers, analysts and DBAs. Read more about Database Object Management, SQL Script Management, Query Builder and more.
Users will be able to search for documents by date, topic, person, location, etc. and will be able to do "document dives," collaboratively examining large sets of documents. Think of it as a card catalog for primary source documents. DocumentCloud is not meant to be a general document hosting service, like Scribd, Docstoc or Google Docs. Our goal is to build a service that makes source documents easier to find and share regardless of where they are hosted. It is a complement to these services, and not a competitor. the goal is to make documents even easier to find on search engines. DocumentCloud will have information about documents and relations between them, for example what locations, people, or organizations a group of documents have in common. Conceived of by journalists working at ProPublica and The New York Times, DocumentCloud will be managed as an independent nonprofit.
I have come to realize how hard it is for a everyday programmer to get access to even the most basic factual data. If you want to experiment with a new driving directions algorithm, it is infinitely more difficult than coming up with an algorithm; you have to hire a lawyer and a sign a contract with a company that collects that data in the country you are developing for. If you want to write an open source TiVo competitor, you need television listings data for every cable provider in the country, but your options are tenuous at best
compiled by the EBSS Reference Sources & Services Committee[1], a division of the Association of College and Research Libraries. We created this directory with the goal of creating a resource for librarians who regularly need to find statistics for their patrons. We welcome additions or comments.

Since then scientists have battled to recognise specific aspects of a song, such as its tempo, key, harmony, rhythm, instrumentation, or even just its genre, by analyzing its audio content. Starting in 2004, this battle has been formalised into an annual competition called MIREX. In each round of MIREX, competitors submit their programs to a carefully controlled competition server, where each program is run on the same set of tracks. The winner is the one whose results agree most closely with a matching set of human judgements. But gathering human opinions about very specific aspects of large numbers of songs isn’t easy. You need to find people with a keen interest in music, and ideally some musical expertise. You need to persuade them to answer questions that can seem obvious to them (even though they are still difficult for a computer). Finally you need to have enough helpers to allow for the fact that some interesting musical questions can have more than one ‘right’ answer.
The goals of the International Household Survey Network are to promote the collection, dissemination, and use of sound data for decision-making and for monitoring development progress at national and international levels.
