[okfn-help] Patching datasets in CKAN?

[Antti Poikola]

In CKAN is there a mechanism of "patching" data between the different 
instances of CKAN?

I got the idea from here:

If you improve a piece of code someone else wrote, you can automatically 
generate the "difference" between the original and your revised version, 
send that difference (called a "patch") to the original author, who can 
then evaluate it and if they like it merge it automatically with their 
code (even if they've made their own non-overlapping changes in the 
meantime). That's patching in software. Now what happens if you improve 
pages you downloaded from Wikipedia? I guess you go to the site and try 
typing them in - there's no way I see to submit something like a patch. 
And without a patching mechanism, there's no basis for distributed 
development of the data, like happens with free software.
