Cyberobservatories Projects

"We have assembled an initial list of observational projects and programs funded by NSF and other entities that have defined cyberinfrastructure components or have expressed interest in CI-oriented information exchange and/or collaboration with other observing programs. We know that this list is very incomplete, plan to keep refining and expanding it, and welcome suggested additions."
