[ckan-dev] Dataset relationships feature: do you use it? would like to?

Tue May 8 07:16:43 UTC 2018

We use this feature for several instances and different use cases. One of
the simplest is to display a hierarchy (
https://github.com/openresearchdata/ckanext-ord-hierarchy) of datasets, and
to create/maintain the hierarchy we use the relationship feature of CKAN.
For another client we build a portal that has several types of datasets
(literature, and different kind of data) and the possibility to link those
together (e.g. a paper based on data or a dataset based on already existing
data). The portal is still in development, so there is unfortunately not
yet a repository I can link to.

So in summary: this feature is used. It currently does not have super high
priority, but I'm sure we could spent some time to help fix the tasks in
the issue.
