Enhancing DCAT support in CKAN (DCAT-AP v3, scheming integration, and more)
A review of the recent developments in CKAN's DCAT support, and how you can get involved
I've just deployed a much improved version of the data "preview" functionality to <http://ckan.net/>.
You can see examples of it in action on these packages:
- <http://ckan.net/package/japan-speedi-radiation-dose>
- <http://ckan.net/package/econ-uk-house-prices-monthly>
- <http://ckan.net/package/taxonconcept>
- More robust handling of csv's and xls (though we still have issues with appspot timing out on large (e.g. > 500k) xls files)
- Plain text previewing of everything plain text
- Simple iframe support for html and anything else
- Nicer look to buttons and no display of buttons if preview won't work (e.g. compressed files)
- More details: http://trac./ticket/962
- Recognizing and handling apis and services e.g. api/sparql google docs, scraper wiki
- E.g. for api/sparql we could create a little query box and let people run queries
- E.g. for google docs recognize the spreadsheet option and then talk to their json API
- Providing a bit of a dashboard in the preview so you can e.g. see more rows
- Handling large (xls) files
