AUTOMATIC discovery and usage is kewlness, as is a general requirement that the discovered data are useful seamlessly without user intervention. You know, like “it’s there or it’s not” rather than “let me go to GOS and find it and retrieve it and reproject it and reformat it and convert it and then present it through a proprietary service”

something automatic like that would be nice, yes.

Immersion works well because the bounding box of datasets can easily be grabbed on upload allowing you to discover datasets in your geographical area.

It seems like only yesterday that you, yourself, were putting down metadata search?</p> I’m just pointing out the difference (to me) between immersion in data-on-the-web vs immersion in metadata for off-the-web datasets.

Finding shapefiles isn't anywhere near as useful as finding individual resources. When walking around Nanaimo, I'd want to have the experience of physically browsing Jason Birch's property resources and see URLs like the ones in http://maps.nanaimo.ca/data/property/. When walking Montpellier, I want to physically browse OpenStreetMap and be presented with links to resources like http://api.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/8105279. I don't want to see a cloud of shapefiles. What would you do with them on your mobile, anyway?</p> Yelp’s got it right.
