Clean Energy Data
The non-profit portal http://www.reegle.info / http://data.reegle.info provides datasets in LOD format (and via SPARQL endpoints) on:


 * Energy policy reports for more than 160 countries
 * Clean energy stakeholders
 * Project output documents from renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in developing countries
 * More than 3000 clean energy terms from our thesaurus (including definitions, links to other definitions, list of synonyms, references to related terms) in 5 languages

Datasets are published using the Open Government Data License for public sector information and are therefore free for re-use.

A tagging API provides cost-free tagging tool for those publishing online resources in the clean energy and climate area. Tag extraction is based on the custom-built clean energy thesaurus, with a wide range of additional information available. This service is accessible in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German. The API returns the formats RDF/XML and JSON.

Would be great if these services would be used at the Open Data Hackathon - feel free to contact me by [mailto:fb@reeep.org email] or twitter: @reegle) if you have questions or need support.

Food products data
Open Food Facts is a crowdsourced database of food products data: ingredients, nutrition facts, organic, fair trade etc. labels, carbon footprint. Data is provided under the Open Database Licence (ODbL) in CSV, RDF and there is also a JSON API.

As of January 2013, it contains 5000 products, mostly from France. It could be interesting to help the international versions to take off. e.g. during Open Data Day, we could organize scan parties where people install the iPhone or Android app and go in nearby stores to scan and add products.

Health and Human Services Data
Health Data.gov  There are thousands of health data sets from various Health and Human Services agencies and more being added all the time! HealthData.gov brings together high-value datasets, tools, and applications using data about health and healthcare to support your need for better knowledge and to help you solve problems. HealthData.gov is a one-stop resource for the growing ecosystem of innovators who are turning data into new applications, services, and insights that can help improve health.

There is also a catalogue API used to provide software developers with programmatic access to the contents of our data catalog. The API can be used to find recently added datasets, to search the catalog, to download the contents of the catalog for analysis, or to build a new data catalog tool.
