Data and Story Library (DASL or "Dazzle"):
http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/DASL
Hosted by the Department of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University,
this is a very comprehensive website that features data sets from
many fields and disciplines, with accompanying textural descriptions
(stories) and graphical representations. The mathematical emphasis
of these data and stories is almost exclusively statistics. This
is a great website.

| |
EESEE: http://www.stat.ohio-state.edu/~eesee/Content.html
The Electronic Encyclopedia of Statistical Examples and Exercises
at Ohio State University "is designed to be a resource for
educators and an aid for students in the study of statistics. It
is intended to serve as a supplement to introductory textbooks written
for students with varying degrees of mathematical backgrounds. EESEE
currently includes over 80 "real-world" stories, or examples,
about the uses and abuses of statistics and statistical inference,
drawn from published and printed media encompassing a wide range
of subject-matter areas."

| |
StatLib at Carnegie Mellon University: http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/datasets
Another web site at CMU, containing data sets submitted by interested
users. Statistical in focus but quite diverse.

National Soil Survey Center NSSC Database http://statlab.iastate.edu/soils/nsdaf
Sponsored by the USDA and Iowa State University. A variety of data,
such as monthly soil temperatures for stations in each state, and
some large GIS databases on soil type distributions in the US.
|
| |
Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC)
http://www.psmfc.org/overview.html
One of three interstate commissions dedicated to resolving fishery
issues. Look under "Projects"; each project often contains
a wide variety of fisheries data, usually related to commercial
and sport fisheries.
