Hi Henrik,
Others may have more informed advice, but some thoughts:
1. The Orbital project [1] did some work with an engineering project
with a dataset of sensor data, using the Datastore API to add rows at
particular time intervals.
2. This might be a better bet than adding a new CSV resource every 5
minutes, which will mean the URL for the data keeps changing.
I don't think much work has been done on using CKAN with real-time
data (perhaps others will correct me) so it would be great if you
updated the list with your thoughts/findings.
Regards,
Mark
