Hi all,
Two cool big-data approaches to organizing information and collections
launched today:
The Digital Public Library of America -- the DPLA aims to be a common
platform for the nation's special collections.

Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation, BISON -- This is an effort
from USGS to map species records across the US ("offering more than 100
million mapped records of nearly every living species nationwide and
growing. And the vast majority of the records are specific locations, not
just county or state records.")
