Tom Kralidis and I also worked on a WFS implementation of an OWS
resources catalog some time ago for the CGDI:
http://atlas.gc.ca/cgi-bin/owscatwfs?service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities
where
service_endpoints: are actual service instances
service_resources: are layers and feature types parsed out of the
capabilities documents harvested.
and the geometry for those feature types is the area covered by the
services (with too many -180,180 services).
That way you could do a geographic query for layers/feature types using
a WFS query mechanism.

hi all,
there was a nice site (wms-sites.com <http://wms-sites.com>) that I
enjoyed very much because you could do thematic searches of avaible
WMS, getting back a RSS feed that can be parsed and so on.
the site has disappeared and I wonder if someone knows something or
similar sites... I just know the list below, but they don't provide RSS.
I put wms-sites.com together a few years ago. It was running on a
pretty outdated setup, and the hosting company I used went out of
business, so I let it come to an end.
I've started on an updated replacement. I kept all the catalog
entries and will populate the new service with these when I get it
running.
I'll also take a look at http://ows-search-engine.appspot.com/ (I'm
not getting any response right now). My current work is also an
appengine solution - so perhaps there is room for collaboration.
I'll post here when I have something interesting to look at.
Tim
thanks,
