Re: Discussion thread for review BP introduction

Thanks Linda, That seems a great start..

Only one comment, I think we need to make the point that the key problems
we are try to solve is discoverability and accessibility, it's not that
there is a lack of geospatial data, but the data that has been published if
difficult to find and often problematic to access for non-specialist
users.  How overarching goal therefore is to bring publishing geospatial
data into the web mainstream as a mechanism for solving these twin problems.
