#21638 new enhancement

[RFC][Patch] Extend opendata plugin to support CKAN open data platforms — at Version 1

Reported by: Woazboat Owned by: Don-vip
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Plugin opendata Version:
Keywords: ckan, opendata, module Cc:

Description (last modified by Woazboat)

Extend the opendata plugin to be able to fetch resources from CKAN open data platforms.

http://docs.ckan.org/en/2.9/user-guide.html#what-is-ckan

  • New 'jackan' CKAN client plugin (https://github.com/opendatatrentino/jackan)
  • New CKAN data set handler that fetches resources via CKAN API
  • Refactor opendata menu entry creation to allow modules to provide special menu item handling

Also adds a module for https://www.data.gv.at/ (WIP)

  • Some sample CKAN data set handlers included for testing

TODO:

  • Registered CKAN data set handlers currently send CKAN API requests on startup to fetch information about data set -> problematic, especially when number of handlers/queries increases
  • Allow users to search and select datasets available on the open data platform via a user interface
  • Eventually support https://data.europa.eu/en if possible (https://data.europa.eu/api/hub/search/#tag/Ckan)
