[ckan-discuss] Management of numerous resources

Fri Nov 8 08:46:56 GMT 2013

Why even create a new dataset type? This could be done by normal datasets
as well, just create a dataset per photo. If you think this is too messy,
you could create a ZIP file with all photos and attach it to one dataset.
But imho CKAN has a good search, and you can group datasets with tags,
groups or orgs.
