[ckan-dev] CKAN DCAT-AP 1.1 Integration

[Timothy Giles]

Hi Marco.

I am part of a group working at SLU (swedens agricultural university) who will be working on this early part of 2016. Certainly we will look to publish an updated extension with DCAT AP 1.1 support once the work is completed. Preliminary work on mapping the latest standard is underway already.

Regards Timothy

Hi

I have seen the new www.europeandataportal.eu<http://www.europeandataportal.eu> portal that seems to be powered by CKAN too (even if is not written in the footer correctly). They are harvesting the national open data catalogues, consequently are harvesting the regional/city portals.

So the harvesting standard is becoming every day more important, and the standard proposed by EU is DCAT-AP 1.1 (the latest)

In the EU website about DCAT-AP they are mentioning CKAN
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/dcat_application_profile/description

The Swedish innovation agency VINNOVA<http://www.vinnova.se/>, which runs the Swedish Open Data Portal<http://www.opengov.se/>, in collaboration with Open Knowledge UK<https://okfn.org/> and MetaSolutions<http://metasolutions.se/> have undertaken many activities to support DCAT-AP in the Swedish Open Data Portal, including:

  *   Preliminary support for DCAT-AP in CKAN<http://ckan.org/>;
  *   The development of a validator: http://validator.dcat-editor.com/
  *   The development of a simple DCAT-AP editor: http://dcat-editor.com/simple/
  *   The development of a more capable and user-friendly editor: https://dcat-editor.com/ (beta)

The friends from sweden probably knows more about it, sorry if they wrote about already, I didn't see it in the archive

Is it going to be implemented by anyone (and released) an updated versione of the DCAT Extension in compliance with DCAT-AP 1.1?  I am looking here  https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-dcat

I would like to help the development too, but as it is now, we don't have a lack of resources on our regional opendata project, and of course I'm looking around in code-reuse. We could, at least, help testing it, if someone implement it.

Thanks a lot!
