The first sentence of this description is a bit out of date. I suggest:

<tool_description>CKAN is a system for storing, cataloguing and

to make it easy to find, share and re-use open content and data,
especially in ways that are machine automatable.</tool_description>

I don't know much about this - cc'ing to the dev list, where perhaps
someone can shed some light on what components should be mentioned.
