Hi Karen, I don't really have a particular model in mind, although I am always struck by the efficiency and searchability of GIS data clearinghouses where users submit a set of metadata that points to full information sets. Whatever the form, I think it should have a low threshold for participation and be as self-service as possible. Perhaps others know of examples?
