[ckan-discuss] Webstore meetup - 1 March

[Mark Wainwright]

Hi all,

Remember that the suggested date for the online meetup on CKAN's
Websore is on Thursday this week, 1 March at 5pm GMT.

Previously, data indexed on CKAN was usually stored offsite (e.g. on
the publisher's own site). The Webstore allows data to be stored
directly on a CKAN instance, either as a 'blob' (the raw files), or as
structured data, in which case it gives an API, allowing the data to
be queried, visualisations to be built on top, etc. The API is used by
the 'Recline' data examination tool built into thedatahub.org, which
has recently been updated. There are exciting developments under way
in this area - if you'd like to talk or hear about them, or have
suggestions, you're welcome to attend.

If you'd like to join the meeting, please sign up on the etherpad:
