Radar

This is not meant to be a comprehensive or exclusive or even coherent list; it is merely the product of my attempting to unload links from my email stream, ad-hoc notes files, and bookmarks lists. The theme here is open scientific data, as opposed to (say) data integration or biomedical data sources.

Categorization is very inexact and probably wrong in many cases.
