[ckan-dev] Community Interest for a strong dashboarding functionnality

Hi Alessio

Is the code you used to develop the dashboard(s) available as an open source project?

Thanks
Derek

Hi Vincent,
 fully agree with David and Steven 
 we have recently built a portal named opencantieri [1] for the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures and Transportation related to construction works accountability that present in different dashboards data coming from several different datastore served from a CKAN instance using its datastore API [2].
 I haven't seen anything similar around (my fault) but definitivelly using CKAN you have multiple choices to tailor your final solutions
 hope it helps

 Hi Vincent,
As David has mentioned it is pretty easy to build visualisation options on top of CKAN. Establishing an approach supported by a extension(s) sounds good to me.

I spoke with the folks behind data.gov.sg about their code and working with them on something which supports the approach seen on home, dataset and group pages in that portal.

I think we need to introduce a feature for user curation which I think could be nicely done via a bookmarking use case. Bookmark collections could then be used as a basis for telling visual stories with dataset resources. One view for such visual stories could be achieved as a dashboard.

So, the first extension I'm planning to develop is bookmarks... I need to fit it in with client work but will start the documentation for user stories this week.

Cheers,
Steven

   Hello list,

 I work for a urban planning agency for one of the biggest metropolitan area in France, and we plan to have a partial-opendata initiative.

 We are considering CKAN as one of our options. A major requirement is to have a robust dashboarding functionnality. Some pieces are actually included in extensions, but are lacking in several key areas : very simple graph options, no cross-datasets  dashboards, no calculations (ratios…), very complex UI and basic page layout.

 Is there some interest in the community to develop a stronger dashboarding functionnality as a CKAN extension or as a side project ? It would include something like plot.ly dashboards with a strong and versatile visualization library like  vega.js.

 We may be able to find funding to contribute to the development.
