(Tabular) Data Package Extension #37

Open rufuspollock opened 10 years ago

rufuspollock commented 10 years ago

Support for Data Package format (esp tabular data package) in CKAN

Specifically suggest API of:

GET /dataset/{name}/datapackage.json
POST /dataset/{name}/datapackage.json would also be nice but maybe action API would be better

e.g.

/api/action/datapackage_create => creates a dataset with resources as appropriate ...

Since datapackage is very similar to CKAN dataset + resources should be straightforward. One major question is where we store the table schema for resources (I presume we just put this into resource extras ...)

Isn't this what https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-datapackager does?

rufuspollock commented 10 years ago

@nigelbabu not really - that's an entirely separate app as i understand it (though built on core ckan). I was thinking more about datapackager style features built into standard ckan.

@tryggvib could you update here on the work you have been doing on data package support in CKAN (?)
