After 5 mos., Data.gov has only 600 raw datasets. How about extending Atom XML for data cataloging -- allow entries to point to subcatalogs and encourage agencies to build their own data catalogs? Then, use Data.gov to show agencies and others how to do it right. Data.gov can set the standard. eBooks is paving the way with OPDS and worth checking out.
