Yes, some catalogues are indeed "in production", for example that of the Cataluña SDI.
http://www.geoportal-idec.net/geoportal/IDECServlet?idioma=eng Or the U.S. GeoSpatial One-Stop. However it would be fair, I think, to say that participation in such enterprises has been, well, slow in coming. Similar projects have been around for at least a decade, however I'm not sure that today people are discovering much more geoinfo using these methods, or if Google and similar IR techniques are already overtaking these digital library-based techniques.
