We actually posted about this resource from The Guardian last month, but we figured it was worth highlighting here because it's a work in progress that is bound to grow more and more useful over time.
Ever since the government appointed Sir Tim Berners-Lee as its open data Czar (working with Prof Nigel Shadbolt from Southampton University) it was obvious the issue was going to be big for the government, but what does it mean for you?
You now have tens of sites around the world providing you access, but how do you find them?
Well, this is now the place. To coincide with the launch of data.gov.uk, we have created the ultimate gateway to world government data.
Search government data sites from the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and London (this comes under United Kingdom, if you want to browse) in one place and download the data (more sites to come)
Help us find the best dataset by ranking them

And here's a related resource you might find useful, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Statistical Sites on the World Wide Web. Includes links to both U.S. and international statistics agencies and offices.
