The site is the result of the initiative to make more US Government data accessible to the public – and more importantly for the lab, accessible in machine-readable formats.  From that site you can download databases or connect to live sites dealing with where wildlife refuges are, on-time arrival stats for airlines, water quality assessments, weather forecasts, earthquake occurrences, mass transit usage stats, surveys of what people do with their time, Education, IRS, FBI, Homeland Security, Census, and piles and piles of other stuff. (Your tax dollars at work!..)
