The US Department of Energy has launched a tool to find scientific data generated in the course of research sponsored by the department in various science disciplines (www.osti.gov/dataexplorer). The data include computer simulations, numerical files, figures and plots, interactive maps, multimedia, and scientific images. The site is intended to be useful to students, the public, and researchers who are new to a discipline or looking for experimental or observational data outside their area of expertise. The search interfaces allow the user to understand, analyse, and use the data in the context of a user’s own research. (www.knowledgespeak.com 2008 Jul 4)
