 <p>An increasing number of government agencies make their data available on-line in the form of data catalogs such as <a href="http://data.gov/">data.gov</a> (see <a href="http://datacatalogs.org/">datacatalogs.org</a>for a list). Catalogs exist at national, regional and local level; some are operated by official government bodies and others by citizen initiatives; some have general coverage, while others have a specific focus (e.g., <a href="http://www.statcentral.ie/">statistical data</a>, <a href="http://www.ndad.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">historical datasets</a>).</p>

They present a unified catalog and unified user interface. They may also provide additional advanced features that individual catalog operators will not or can not supply, such as convenient APIs for mashup developers.</p>

 <p>The federated catalog replicates individual catalogs' contents into its local database. A website interface similar to those of current individual catalogs is offered for interacting with the federated catalog. Updates to the individual catalogs (new datasets, modified metadata, deleted datasets) also have to be reflected in the federated catalog.</p>
