Integration with OpenGRID #120

Open iltempe opened 8 years ago

Have you seen https://github.com/Chicago/opengrid ?

It's a sort of search engine to explore city datasets?

any ides to integrate it in JKAN? Regards

timwis commented 8 years ago

Hey @iltempe - I have seen that, it's a really cool idea. What were you thinking integration-wise? Since JKAN doesn't house the data itself, I'm not sure how easy that would be. A project like OpenGrid seems like it would depend on having a consistent datastore for each dataset.

Oh, personally I've discovered it yesterday and I've not analized how it works in terms of search algorithms. Should be nice to design something like that to be used as engine to explore datasets (at least geojson) in JKAN.
