See previous reply to rufus, but essentially a comitment to provide a given data set at a given URL, presumably with a given schema. Here are a list of existing templates in flymine if you want to get a real example: http://www.flymine.org/release-21.1/templates.do The quid-pro-quo is to integrate these into analysis services or other 'mines', one such analysis service is galaxy: http://galaxy.psu.edu/ So ideally the galaxy devs could use ckan to query all urls that offer results of a certain schema, and the users of galaxy would then be able to access all these datasets in an analysis that can consume that schema.
