The OKFN has a site IsItOpenData see http://www.isitopendata.org/ and http://planet.okfn.org/category/isitopendata/. (This is somewhat inspired by WhatDoTheyKnow.org. ) On this site you can make a request to a data holder and enquire as to whether the data is Open. Assuming they reply, the response is recorded so the question doesn't need to be re-asked. If you are making requests then this is a good way to do it.

Sciencfe data is needed by government and government produces data used by science (and this applies to all fields). -- Peter Murray-Rust Reader in Molecular Informatics Unilever Centre, Dep.
