[Live-demo] What common datasets do we need?

[Bob Basques]

all, 

I believe I can get a license of some sort for the data being used in the GeoMoose example,  Failing that I'm sure I can provide something from here at the City.  Just need to have a copy of the desired data license that should be used to pass around to our lawyers (ack!!)

Personally I believe there needs to be a set of data for various levels of resolution as a global set, and I don't see the GE datasets filling this need entirely (yet), Maybe the GeoMoose datasets can be used in some of this capacity.  The reason I thought of putting them into their own containers (folders) was to provide a flexibility for others to use if they so desired.  They can also be easily removed in the future.  I'm also planning on building separate Viewers for each, but I can also build a composite viewer.  Each of these using a single frontend jump page (index.html) to get to.  

Bob,
If the Natural Earth dataset doesn't provide data in the right format to highlight GeoMoose examples, then we should probably source another common dataset which can be used by multiple applications.
I remember Simon Cropper had similar comments a while back when he was creating tutorials for gvsig.

So my question is, what dataset should we provide? (The data should be suitably licenced, either public domain as per Natural Earth, or another open licence like Creative Commons).
