[open-government] Help requested - mapping the world's open data catalogues

If so, and in the spirit of collaboration and not re-invention, why don't you try to build on the existing one or ask the CTIC guys for an extension or API or the like?

It's easier for me to point people to just one resource, as I'm doing with the faceted one for the visualization and datacatalogs.org for the info.
