There doesn't seem to be that much raw data available yet. A search for all data across all agencies at data.gov only produces 47 results.

Seems like over 50% of that data is also NSGS or NWS data which I believe was previously available in structured format.

As I see it, data.gov isn't so much a source for new types of information -- it's a more approachable and usable clearinghouse for the public datasets already being made available by the federal government.

Yeah. The data is pretty barebones. But from what we're able to get out of the White House, it looks like there will be more feeds coming out constantly.
