Excellent - this looks great. I guess one of the main features I'd really like to see in CKAN is one that Delicious currently has, which allows you to query for, e.g. 'open data': http://delicious.com/tag/opendata Then add 'statistics': http://delicious.com/tag/opendata+statistics Then add 'uk': http://delicious.com/tag/opendata+statistics+uk I think this is a really nice way of browsing, allowing for serendipitous discovery (with suggestions of related tags on the right hand side) as well as a simple URL structure.
