[@OKFNau] Central ckan or other repository for Aus data?

Thanks for the tip, Catherine. I do rather like the approach ANDS has taken
with also having sub-categories (Featured, National, International) within
each theme.

As as a matter of interest - what platform is Research Data Australia
running on?

Your idea around tying it into GovPond got me thinking. Maybe the "smart
search rules" part could just be using the existing tags applied to data to
semi-automatically generate themes like bicycle.govpond.org?

So throw in a step at the start...

0. Some manual work on our end saying that tag1, tag2, ..., tagN are all
part of a given theme.

:)
