[ckan-dev] Metadata fields

[Stefan Oderbolz]

Hi Mark,

yes you can add arbitrary fields using the so called "extras".
The predefined metadata fields are listed here:
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/master/ckan/logic/schema.py#L63
They used to be in the docs, see e.g. for CKAN 1.8:
http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.8/domain-model-dataset.html, but I can't
find this page in the latest docs anymore.

So apart from all the predefined fields, the "extras" may contain any
key/value pair, which allows you to store whatever you want.

Regards Stefan
