Includes a list of open source visualization toolkits

he Open Science Data Initiative is an initiative led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in partnership with Microsoft's Public Sector Developer Evangelism team. OSDI is based on OGDI which in turn uses the Azure Services Platform to make it easier to publish and use a wide variety of scientific data from government agencies. OSDI is an sample of OGDI's open source 'starter kit' (coming soon) with code that can be used to publish data on the Internet in a Web-friendly format with easy-to-use, open API's. OSDI-based web API's can be accessed from a variety of client technologies such as Silverlight, Flash, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, mapping web sites, etc. Whether you are a researcher wishing to use scientific data, a hobyist developer, or a "budding scientist", these open API's will enable you to build innovative applications, visualizations and mash-ups that empower people through access to scientific information. This site is built using the OGDI starter kit software assets and provides interactive access to some publicly-available data sets along with sample code and resources for writing applications using the OSDI APIs.
