[GeoNetwork-users] Please help me add "The 10 most relevant links to geospatial data on the web"

Hi all,
I'm writing you because we are in the final stages of a new version of GeoNetwork opensource version 2.1 (http://geonetwork-opensource.org) to be released early July.

I'm updating a list of links that is included by default in the application and I would like to make sure that page has a concise list of relevant websites that provide access to geospatial data or to important initiatives related initiatives.

I would like to see your contributions reflected, so please provide me with the best link(s) you know :slight_smile:

At OSGEO there's a list with useful links (http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Public_Geospatial_Data_Project) of which I could use some too.

The current list is the following (not claiming to be the best at all and definitely biased towards GeoNetwork catalogs :slight_smile: !):
