To: uk-government-data-developers at googlegroups.com

The web page for the datasets in the hmg.data tool displays useful
fields such as "geographic granularity" and "geographic coverage".

>From the search interface I can't find a way to filter a search by such fields.

I examined the data dumps so that I could build my own tool to do this.
Unfortunately, the dumps in http://ckan.net/dump/ don't appear to
include those fields.

(1) What's the recommended way to get access to the dataset metadata
that includes these fields?

(2) Is there already an "advanced search" or "faceted search" option
that I'm missing?

Dave
