[ckan-dev] Deprecated: related items (Apps & Ideas)

Fri Sep 11 10:50:25 UTC 2015

Hi all,

After deprecation, is there another feature planned to allow relation of
datasets to one another? For example, I have two datasets which are of the
same ArcGIS layer, and I'd like to 'relate' them so that end users are able
to see that they are connected at the source. Removing apps, dataviz etc
from this feature makes sense, but relating datasets is still a useful
feature.

Cheers,
Carl
