@mheadd FYI ODC is built with pycsw for CSW search/discovery/federation. It might be easier to put this functionality in pycsw, which ODC then leverages as a result. This would then make both ODC and non-ODC pycsw deployments data.gov friendly, encouraging even more integration.
Thoughts?
cc @jj0hns0n FYI
What a coincidence! I just met and spoke to @JeanneHolm from Data.gov this evening about these very plans of theirs.
@andrewbt - I've spoken with @JeanneHolm about this in the past in general terms. Not sure there was ever a specific document before now that listed exactly how to do this.
@tomkralidis I'm not a Python dude, so I'll defer to you (and others) on your suggested approach. I just think this would make the ODC platform much more powerful, allowing users to integrate with the largest data repository on the country. Let's do this!
There are a few options and open to what works best. Cities connect to http://Cities.Data.gov via federation, JSON, technologies like CKAN, Socrata or Junar, or even CSV files. How can we make it work with ODC too? Agreed on "let's do this!".
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has created a data.json plugin for CKAN, which they provide on their GitHub repository. I mention that because portions of that program might be useful to provide similar functionality within ODC.
Agreed. It would be great to see a similar plug in for ODC. Something that generates a compliant data.json file.
@JeanneHolm - if such a plugin is built, and used by ODC site operators, what is the process for getting integrated with Data.gov? I assume the URL to the new data.json file needs to be added somewhere. Is there a process or point of contact for this?
We are working on expanding the options for cities to make their data accessible through Cities.Data.gov with the migration to our new interface (see http://Next.Data.gov). We could embed the option for ODC (and the others) prominently on the new site, but we could work on the plug-in now and integrate OpenPhilly today.
FYI a first pass is now implemented in master (2c9e5337dcebf144466028dce25618df52cf36d2).

Huh, apparently GitHub's mobile site doesn't parse emoji. :-/ Anyhow, yay!
That's cool! Thanks Tom!

We are archiving this repo as no active work is being done or expected.
It appears that the stewards of Data.gov have set up ways for city data portals to integrate and have their data sets listed in the Cities community.

In essence, integration involves generating a compliant data.json that lives at the root URL of participating sites. It would be awesome if there was a way to generate a data.json file for ODC sites.
