[ckan4rdm] Short introduction of project EDaWaX

Have you seen the work being done for the EU Engage project 
Paper presented at CRIS2012 in Prague - looking at mapping CKAN to CERIF; the latter having a very well developed set of structured entities and relationships between them.

We've been implementing a DDI(2) harvesting feature for CKAN, but that's
not yet nearly clean enough to publish officially.

What I find especially lacking in CKAN is to have some place to put
metadata not of the dataset/resource itself but rather various other
related concepts, such as researchers (referring to authors by name not
identifier is a bad practice IMO), variables within data, and data
lifecycle events.
