These request are all attempts to allow access to information in either a logical (say following the filesystem) or ad-hock fashion. The existing Search view actually does a better job of allowing people to quickly filter information; and explore what information is available.

The following three proposals are related:
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Catalog+View+Proposal (an iTunes style service / resource explorer)
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/GeoResource+Property+Page+Proposal (use the Properties view to show details about the current resource)
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Service+Property+Page+Proposal (Use the Properties view to show details about the current service)

The idea is to explore information; and use the Properties view to show details about it.
