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

That’s the plugin for /data.json output. To make the harvester available, also add:

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

If you’re running CKAN via WSGI, we found a strange Python dependency bug. It might only affect development environments. The fix was to revise wsgi.py and add:

import ckanext

before

from paste.deploy import loadapp

Then restart your server and check out:

http://yourdomain.com/data.json
   and
http://yourdomain.com/data.jsonld
   and
http://yourdomain.com/pod/validate  

Caching The Response

If you’re deploying inside Apache, some caching would be a good idea because
