[ckan-dev] CKAN DCAT-AP 1.1 Integration

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi all,

In case someone is interested in CKAN - DCAT-AP 1.1 support, I've
pushed some changes to make it possible.

This essentially meant adding support for a bunch of new fields and
polishing some minor errors on the previous implementation.
This issue has a list of all the added fields:

https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-dcat/issues/53

The documentation has also been updated:

https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-dcat#rdf-dcat-to-ckan-dataset-mapping


Let me know if you have any feedback,

Adrià
