ckanext-datajson

A CKAN extension to generate the /data.json file and to harvest data sources from a remote /data.json file according to the U.S. Project Open Data metadata specification (http://project-open-data.github.io/).

This plugin creates a new view at /data.json (or other configurable path) that outputs the contents of the data catalog in the Project Open Data JSON metadata format. It also creates a view at /data.jsonld which outputs the same in JSON-LD format.

The plugin also provides a harvester to import datasets from other remote /data.json files. See below for setup instructions.

And the plugin also provides a new view to validate /data.json files at http://ckanhostname/pod/validate.

This module assumes metadata is stored in CKAN in the way we do it on http://hub.healthdata.gov. If you’re storing metadata under different key names, you’ll have to revise ckanext/datajson/plugin.py accordingly.

Installation

To install, activate your CKAN virtualenv, install dependencies, and install the module in develop mode, which just puts the directory in your Python path.

. path/to/pyenv/bin/activate
pip install -r pip-requirements.txt
python setup.py develop

Then in your CKAN .ini file, add “datajson” to your ckan.plugins line:

ckan.plugins = (other plugins here...) datajson

To make the harvester available, also add:

ckan.plugins = (other plugins here...) harvest datajson_harvest

Options

ckanext.datajson.path = /data.json
ckanext.datajsonld.path = /data.jsonld
ckanext.datajsonld.id = http://www.youragency.gov/data.json
ckanext.datajson.default_contactpoint = Health Data Initiative
ckanext.datajson.default_mbox = Healthdata@example.hhs.gov
ckanext.datajson.default_keywords = health

Caching The Response

If you’re deploying inside Apache, some caching would be a good idea because generating the /data.json file can take a good few moments. Enable the cache modules:

a2enmod cache
a2enmod disk_cache

The Harvester

To use the data.json harvester, you’ll also need to set up the CKAN harvester extension.

paster --plugin=ckanext-harvest harvester initdb --config=/path/to/ckan.ini
