Hi Innovators,
Following from the post on how the data results from the Project Nimbus services look like:
http://projectnimbus.org/2010/02/23/what-is-returned-from-data-service
We are briefly sharing with you on what Data Sets are available in the Preview release of Project Nimbus.
Amongst the plentiful line-up of datasets which our gracious content providers have given us, we have selected restaurant data, traffic data, weather data and library data for the preview. (see the links below)
In general, we refer the URL with the ‘*.svc/’ as the ‘Service End-point’ .
You will notice that we have assigned a unique Service End-point to each content owner. Though a single content provider may offer one or more datasets, these datasets will have the same service end-points. You will access the different datasets via the suffix you append the call. (Do not worry, we will be providing more details soon and these will be clearer to you as you start using the data services. 
)
At this phase in the Nimbus preview, you can look at the available Data Sets from each of the content providers with their service endpoint. If you want to find out exactly what fields and attributes are available with regards to the Data Sets, you append “$metadata” to the service end-point. You can do all these with a web browser, no authentication to take a peek at the list of data sets or the meta-data 
For example, if we are to take a look at what information is available from our weather data content provider,
we’ll hit this: https://nea.projectnimbus.org/neaodataservice.svc/
You will see that there are 2 sets of data available, namely Forecast and Nowcast.
If you’ll like to see the attributes /fields you will get for the query results, hit this: https://nea.projectnimbus.org/neaodataservice.svc/$metadata
It’s easy. Look to the blog post on “What is returned from Data Service” and the other posts to see how you can use the results in your applications!
Hack away, Innovate and Rock on!
P.S.: Please include the “/” at the end of the URL of the Service End-point. It’s part of it.
