[support] Can Views be used for Yahoo! Shopping-like directory display?

Hi, I'm trying to build a site that shows a directory of vocabularies and terms in the same what that Yahoo! Shopping (http://shopping.yahoo.com/) and Joomla! Extensions (http://extensions.joomla.org/) displays their Shopping Categories and Joomla! Extensions Directory respectively. I'm thinking this can be done via Views and CCK, but I have no idea how. Is there a tutorial that can lead me to the right path? Also, is this actually possible with Views?
