[OSGeo-Discuss] what about wms-sites.com ?

[Mike Adair]

Tom Kralidis and I also worked on a WFS implementation of an OWS 
resources catalog some time ago for the CGDI:  
http://atlas.gc.ca/cgi-bin/owscatwfs?service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities

where
service_endpoints: are actual service instances
service_resources: are layers and feature types parsed out of the 
capabilities documents harvested.

and the geometry for those feature types  is the area covered by the 
services (with too many -180,180 services).

That way you could do a geographic query for layers/feature types using 
a WFS query mechanism.
