[ckan-dev] CKAN Repeating - Templates?

[Hendrik Bunke]

We've build something like that for journaldata.zbw.eu. Basically, author
objects are stored as flat list items by the form, are then transformed to
JSON objects by the validator and finally get stored as JSON strings in the
package dict. The UI also allows to add as many authors as you like. By
simply adding an ORCID- or GND-ID the approbiate API is called and author
metadata fields get filled in automatically. (you'll get the idea with the
attached screenshot).

Code will be on github soon. It's integrated in an extension that provides
a metadata scheme for da|ra and enables DOI registration of datasets and
ressources. Might be a good idea to separate the author relevant code and
publish it as solitary extension.

regards
hendrik
