Survey Documentation and Analysis SDA is a set of programs for the documentation and Web-based analysis of survey data.  There are also procedures for creating customized subsets of datasets. This set of programs is developed and maintained by the Computer-assisted Survey Methods Program (CSM) at the University of California, Berkeley.
Data.gov As part of the Obama administration’s goal to increase overall governmental transparency, the first version of Data.gov was recently launched to improve access to datasets that are generated and held by the Federal Government. Initially the site will include federal Executive Branch data, but the long term objective is to increase the number of datasets available through active public participation in making suggestions and requests.  The site includes descriptions of the Federal datasets (metadata), instructions on accessing datasets, tools for leveraging datasets, and several downloadable datasets themselves.  It is anticipated that the public will use the datasets to “build applications, conduct analysis, and perform research.
U.S. Supreme Court Databases Hosted by the Judicial Research Institute at the University of South Carolina, the site includes access to the Spaeth databases in a variety of formats, as well as more limited data for appellate courts and the attributes of federal court judges.
