[ckan-dev] CKAN Repeating - Templates?

Wed Apr 20 14:37:02 UTC 2016

Hi Tim,

I see the problem very clearly but don't have a complete solution to
that yet. In my mind there are two parts to it:

1) The user interface, and
2) Properly storing structured metadata. I.e. you want to store a list
of objects, whwere each list element represents a contributor with
attributes name, ORCID, ...

Incidentally I have written a little blog-post about that problem:
