+ Where the interface allows the use to select parts of the hierarchy by clicking the selection boxes. Selecting a node selects all of it's children. Expandin a node and selecting some of it's children cuases the selection icon for the node ito indicate that is partially selected. So I would sketch the UI like this:

+
+ So I built a simple prototype. The browser is pretty limited (it doesn't do javascript or Ajax) but it works. Here is a snapshot of the UI pointed at a collection page of the OPeNDAP test server:

+
+ Clicking on one of the data set links on the left causes the UI to look at the dataset and load it's type hierarchy into the center pane and it's metadata into the left pane:

+
+ And I stopped there because it's clearly going to get a lot more complex pretty quicklyu and I want to get peoples input.
