[ckan-dev] ckanext-showcase: A dataset showcase extension for CKAN

Fri Apr 10 08:15:50 UTC 2015

The Showcase extension for CKAN is ready for testing.

Built to be a more powerful replacement for CKAN's 'Related Item' feature,
ckanext-showcase will help site maintainers to highlight how datasets have
been made use of. That could be in a mobile application, website, news
article, report, or visualisation.

Being able to show how others have used datasets can help inspire people
with ideas of their own. Especially when datasets have been used together
in unexpected ways.

You can help test ckanext-showcase by downloading and following the
instructions on github:

https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-showcase

You can submit any issues you run into using the github issues tracker:

https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-showcase/issues

You can also see an example of ckanext-showcase in use over at

Thanks,

Brook
