[ckan-dev] [ckan-discuss] VoID vocabulary integration

[Ross Jones]

Hi,

I think I probably need to get some more input from the rest of the team on what 
our preferred approach to doing this would be, although I wonder whether the simplest
solution might be to try and build this into a CKAN extension rather than a separate 
service. That would mean using Python and using the existing interfaces we have which
are documented at http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.7/writing-extensions.html

I'll get some more feedback internally (and on list) but I suspect that would be the best way.
