CoL datapackage.json build service

mdoering commented 6 years ago

Create a webservice that takes a few very simple parameters to describe the options of a CoL Data Package and return a full fledged tabular datapackage.json that can be used in goodtables or other tools capable of reading datapackages.

Parameters currently anticipated:

baseURL (base url of the directory the files are found under)
file (list of files that each form a datapackage resource)
headers (default=true)

The case insensitive filenames must correspond to the CoL Data Package specs using one of the following suffices:

tsv, tab, txt: indicates a tab seperated file without quoting
csv: a comma separated, quoted CSV file as per RFC 4180
