A proposed new version of the THREDDS Dataset Inventory Catalog is ready for your comments. Please send them to address@hidden, or to me.
The new spec was created in collaboration with NCAR's Community Data Portal group. It adds new types of information for "enhanced catalogs" to facilitate interaction with search services and digital libraries. 

Annotated specification is at:

Tutorial (not complete) is at:
