[ckan-dev] Is it possible to get all datasets AND metadata in a single RESTful API call ?

[Ian Ward]

Many large CKAN sites publish a dataset or URL that contains all the
metadata for all the datasets on the site. E.g.
http://data.gc.ca/data/en/dataset/c4c5c7f1-bfa6-4ff6-b4a0-c164cb2060f7

This isn't done in a standard way for all CKAN sites , but it probably
should be. Maybe we could look at making
current_dataset_list_with_resources stream the data and use it as the
official way to get all metadata.
