6 years ago If you are using ckanext-dcat, this is already build-in, see my blog post for more information: https://www.liip.ch/en/blog/make-open-data-discoverable-for-search-engines (also crossposted on the CKAN blog at https://ckan.org/2018/04/30/make-open-data-discoverable-for-search-engines/).

6 years ago Awesome @metaodi! Can it be further optimized so its defaults aligns with Google's guidelines?

6 years ago @jqnatividad it should already be quite complete, since we already got feedback from @danbri working at Google, and I verified my examples with Google's Structured Data Testing Tool. But if you come across something that we should change, please create an issue on ckanext-dcat.

6 years ago Fantastic article @metaodi! Do we want to close this as handled-by-extension? ckanext-dcat provides the ideal under Google's guidelines (JSON-LD) and scheming allows passing through form attrs for inline annotations.
For those interested there is an active discussion here on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17919297.

Google just announced a new service - Dataset Search!
https://www.blog.google/products/search/making-it-easier-discover-datasets/
As CKAN is the underlying technology behind several large portals, it should be optimized so the datasets are easily discoverable by this service.
This reminds me when schema.org was first announced back in June 2011, the very week of the Semantic Technology Conference in San Francisco - I was there and it was a very "lively" discussion...
It fundamentally changed web discovery, and hopefully, Dataset Search will do the same for open data.
