Hi all,

A feature that has been part of CKAN since its early version but few
people are aware of are dataset (package) relationships. These allow
to relate datasets with different kinds of relationships. This is how
they look like:


        {
            "comment": "Test relationship between datasets",
            "object": "test-dataset-jope",
            "subject": "test-angola-dataset",
            "type": "links_to"
        }

Here are some more details about the current status of the feature and
what is lacking:

We would be interested to know if

1. Is someone using this feature
2. Someone thinks is a useful feature

If you answered yes to any of the above perhaps more importantly, can
you help with the tasks listed in the issue to make sure the feature
is properly maintained (basically tests and a little fix).

If this is actually not used or useful it will probably be removed in
the next few versions.


Cheers,

Adrià
