dear Allan, thanks for forwarding this.

Is this to be interpreted as an FYI for us to see how the state of the
art is being planned and modelled by others? 
Or do you imagine OSGeo as an entity or through its projects becoming
more actively involved in a response to the RFI? (keyphrases:
"demonstrate a search capability against existing catalogues"
"search/catalog implementations.. integration+evaluation early 2007")
I see ISO19115/19139, and FGDC and Dublin Core...

Do you have a sense of how big this effort is planned to be in terms
of different data sources and contributing organisations? Do 
respondents need to be 'GEO members' and would OSGeo members already be?

I see it is possible both to offer comments and components. I
definitely see that there is a terrific fit with GeoNetwork here,
if some of the response material can be re-used, is it a good time
investment for the benefit of the project?

thanks,


jo
