tool for helping people identify and locate online repositories of research data. Over 200 data repositories have been cataloged in Databib, with more being added every week. Users and bibliographers create and curate records that describe data repositories that users can browse and search.
DataCatalogs.org aims to be the most comprehensive list of open data catalogs in the world. It is curated by a group of leading open data experts from around the world - including representatives from local, regional and national governments, international organisations such as the World Bank, and numerous NGOs. see also The Data Hub, CKAN, and the Open Knowledge Foundation.
Roughly the specification consists of 2 parts: 1. A schema (in essence DCAT) specifying a serialization of Dataset information, and 2. A protocol / API for getting this information from a compliant data catalogue site.
the Data Hub is a community-run catalogue of useful sets of data on the Internet. You can collect links here to data from around the web for yourself and others to use, or search for data that others have collected. Depending on the type of data (and its conditions of use), the Data Hub may also be able to store a copy of the data or host it in a database, and provide some basic visualisation tools. This site runs on the open-source data cataloguing software called CKAN, written and maintained by the Open Knowledge Foundation. Each 'dataset' record on CKAN contains a description of the data and other useful information, such as what formats it is available in, who owns it and whether it is freely available, and what subject areas the data is about. Other users can improve or add to this information (CKAN keeps a fully versioned history). CKAN powers a number of data catalogues on the Internet. The Data Hub is an openly editable open data catalogue in the style of Wikipedia.
a quick list of companies working to aggregate, distribute, and market data via the Internet. While there are definitely differences in their goals/business models, each of these organizations has an interest in warehousing semi-public data sources for general consumption.
Zanran helps you to find ‘semi-structured’ data on the web. This is the numerical data that people have presented as graphs and tables and charts. For example, the data could be a graph in a PDF report, or a table in an Excel spreadsheet, or a barchart shown as an image in an HTML page. Put more simply: Zanran is Google for data. At present, we extract tables and images from HTML, PDF and Excel files and will be processing PowerPoint and Word documents in the near future.
The Nucleic Acids Research online Molecular Biology Database Collection is a public repository that lists more than 1000 databases described in this and previous Nucleic Acids Research annual database issues, as well as a selection of molecular biology databases described in other journals. All databases included in this Collection are freely available to the public. The 2008 update includes 1078 databases, 110 more than the previous one. The links to more than 80 databases have been updated and 25 obsolete databases have been removed from the list. The complete database list and summaries are available online at the Nucleic Acids Research web site, http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/.

The National Data Catalog (NatDatCat) is an open platform for government data sets and APIs. NatDatCat makes it easy to find datasets by and about government, across all levels (federal, state, and local) and across all branches (executive, legislative, and judicial). The data here is imported from several sources and curated by our staff. Currently, we have importers setup for Data.Gov and the DC Data Catalog. NatDatCat is a project of the Sunlight Labs at the Sunlight Foundation. The platform consists of an API and a Web application.
The portal provides access to an unprecedented quantity of social sciences quantitative datasets using an easy to use Web interface. It harvests statistical datasets and variables published on the Semantic Web from all the largest European social sciences. CESSDA
