Thanks Bruce, A quick question, if I may: Do you, or anyone you know, actually use the ASDD to "discover" data?

I mean: where metadata has been created for a dataset, maintained and then used in a catalogue by people to discover and get access to the dataset. I know there are many projects that have attempted or proposed this - but has anyone actually done, and continued to do, it? Cheers AlanK ".And then came the grandest idea of all! We actually made a map of the country, on the scale of a mile to the mile! Have you used it much? I enquired. It has never been spread out, yet, said Mein Herr: the farmers objected: they said it would cover the whole country, and shut out the sunlight! So we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well." - Lewis Carroll.
