[ckan-dev] Inputting geolocation data via the web UI

Wed Mar 26 08:48:36 UTC 2014

Hi all,

I have been testing out CKAN for use with research data. Using the demo
site I can successfully add a bounding box by adding extra metadata to a
field called 'spatial' as per the documentation, eg { "type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [ [ [0.50, 49.74],[0.5, 59.25], [-6.88, 59.25], [-6.88,
49.74], [0.50, 49.74] ] ] }.

This is not very user friendly - are there any add-ons that make this
more approachable, eg by doing a placename lookup and/or letting the user
draw their own bounding box?
