I agree with Daniel Lemire that this should very much be a global issue, although many of the response are indeed inevitably going to be nationally based. You can check out the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) to find out about a very large initiative in this area that is happening in my part of the world. http://ands.org.au/about-ands.html

I must point out that your discussion is American-centric whereas it shouldn’t. If the UK (say) funding agencies require data sharing (and they do), this changes the game for everyone, including the Americans. I don’t see people sharing the data just “nationally”.

As an aside, I recently wrote a book chapter which has some relevance here:

On the Challenges of Collaborative Data Processing
http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.0910

In this chapter, we ask “collaborative text editing lead to Wikipedia, where can collaborative data processing lead?”

At the very least, I feel that we are asking the right question. (As to answering it, it gets tougher.)
