[ckan-dev] CKAN-specific considerations for DCAT-AP

Fri Dec 16 18:23:40 UTC 2016

Hi all,

I'm glad to hear that ckanext-dcat is being useful. I'm happy to answer any
questions regarding it as I'm the maintainer right now (any help there
would be great BTW).

The ability to write custom profiles was written with this use case in mind
so  a custom DCAT-AP.DE profile should fit nicely.

There a are a couple of proposed features that would make ckanext-dcat
easier to use: support for ckanext-scheming schemas and multilingual terms
(I'll link to the issues on the repo when I'm back online), might be worth
having a read.

Thanks Florian for bringing this up!

Publishing DCAT-AT as a plugin for ckanext-dcat sounds like a good idea.
Also, a plugin for DCAT-AP.DE would be great.

Regarding the latter, feel free to contact me to coordinate efforts :)

Best,

Nikolas

I can send you are profile, but they are specific to our metadata schema.

I cant say I am an expert on DCAT AP – the most confusing issue is the
various examples I find around the web that don’t work with validators! We
want to connect to oppna data .se and they have examples but these don’t
validate fully in their sandbox system… But, it is still pretty easy to
change. I will send you our schema document, json and the profile early
next week.

Dear Timothy,

thanks for the feedback! Nice to hear that things are working well. Is
there anything that worked particularly well or not? Anything to watch out
for when defining the profile?

Are your adaptions to ckanext-dcat available somewhere?

Regards,
Florian
