[ckan-dev] CKAN Repeating - Templates?

Fri Apr 22 08:19:41 UTC 2016

Hendrick,

Have you implemented seperate DOIs for resources and the dataset itself?

Look forward to seeing the code, whether integrated in a large extension or separated out.

Regards Tim

We've build something like that for journaldata.zbw.eu<http://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

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:
