LGOL-X schemas
"These schemas cover a number of transactions including joining a library, press enquiry, logging a complaint, tracking a complaint, change of address, deceased person and single person discount for Council Tax.They are used in conjuction with the LGOL-X transaction engine. Information collected and validated from a web form is then passed through middleware to a backend service conforming to the schemas. The backend service uses the XML to complete a local authority transaction. Each service that a local authority provides should have a schema Transaction definition. These schemas are updated versions of those published earlier in the year and are available for consultation until Friday, 2nd July. Comments should be sent to GovTalk"

Directory of open access journals page for music. If you're not familiar with what DOAJ does, it lists freely available scholarly journals.
While you might not be too bothered about the scholasticism of a journal, or have quite justifiable doubts about the role of peer-review in reinforcing current academic thinking to the detriment of either new or non-conformist ideas and theories, the information you find in this type of source is considerably more likely to be reliable than your average search result from Google.
This is a page of music journals, currently with 12 listings, including journals covering 17th C music, ethnomusicology, electronic music, and a music theory journal.
And you don't have to buy access, or have access to a subscription via an organisation. Which is good.

Municipal Year Book has search facilities that let you look for municipal employees in England, Scotland, and Wales, by job function, council, or keyword.
So handy for finding out who's actually responsible for,maybe, planning, prior to cross checking against company records for directorships (say) if, for example, a suspicious deal has just gone through near where you live.
You could also cross check with council minutes, which are supposed to be publicly available.
Or you could just use it to find the name of the person in charge of the council tax department, or whatever.

Also from artifact, The Bate Collection of Musical Instruments has a few pages of images of instruments like gamelans, hand horns and a harpsichord, and the Incorporated Society of Musicians is a professional organisation for musicians in the UK.
Also found thanks to artifact, info4study is a site for students of architecture, that could also be handy for anyone looking at self build with a view to sustainability and other issues beyond building a box to live in.
From Duke University of North Carolina, the Duke Papyrus Archive presents information and images of over 1,000 papyri from ancient Egypt held at the University.
