Might be of interest to this group:

The NIH Big Data to Knowledge (B2K) initiative is considering the
development of a biomedical Data Catalog to make biomedical research data
findable and citable, as PubMed does for scientific publications.  Such a
Data Catalog would make it easier for researchers to find, share, and cite
data, as well as the publications and grants that they are associated with.
A Data Catalog is distinct from a data repository, but would help make data
in such repositories more easily findable and citable in a consistent
manner. In addition to supplying core, minimal metadata to ensure a valid
data reference, it is envisioned that a Data Catalog would include links
out to the location of the data, to the NIH Reporter record of the grant
that supported the research, to relevant publications within PubMed or
journals, and possibly to associated software or algorithms.  Please refer
to the link below for an RFI on this topic and share with interested
communities: Request for Information (RFI): Input on Development of a NIH
Data Catalog  (NOT-HG-13-011) National Human Genome Research Institute.

NOTE SHORT TIME LINE - PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY
DUE DATE:   June 25, 2013

Best regards,

Simon
