In biomedicine, the National Library of Medicine has been taking steps in this direction. There are repositories for sequence, protein structure, and microarray data, for example, and many journals require that relevant data be deposited in these repositories as a condition of publication. Efforts such as the Science Commons are also thinking about/working towards these sorts of solutions.
