[ckan-discuss] Search by "Extras" field

Tue Mar 9 21:22:07 GMT 2010

Also, how should we construct RDF out of the extras?

Searching it would be easy in that case...

Do we make an extras key namespace? Do we make a (configurable)
mapping onto terms from other vocabularies? Both (via sameAs?)

Are the values always text strings or might they be URIs?

Cheers,
