[datacatalogs] Potential addition to http://datacatalogs.org

[Alex Joseph]

Hi,

I found your project via the civicaccess.ca discussion list.

You may want to add http://www.waterenvironmentalhub.ca to your list of open
data catalogs.

The Water and Environmental Hub (WEHUB) project is an open source web
platform that aggregates, federates, and connects water data and information
with users looking to download, analyze, model and interpret water and
environmental-based information. By combining water expertise with an open
web development approach and an entrepreneurial foundation, the project will
spur economic diversification and benefit both public users and the private
sector by improving the access to water data and tools for academia,
government, industry, NGOs and the general public.

In partnership with other open data repositories around water, the WEHUB is
developing a web-based platform that will not only provide a water-related
data catalogue, but deliver an innovative aggregator service that is linked
with a unified output service (API). This will allow organizations and users
to develop customized applications on top of the WEHUB web platform and gain
access to all of the WEHUB's aggregated data.

We currently have 2000+ observation datasets, 100+ base layers from Western
Canada, and 10+ web services related to water and environment mainly from
North America but some global datasets available for search, discovery,
download, and also available through our RESTful API. Current data available
includes these sources: Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, USGS,
various provincial and state governments, various cities/municipalities in
Canada/US, various industry including IBM's Creekwatch, and various NGOs.
