Description
This extension adds the ability to include a data dictionary (metadata) for each dataset. Administrators can create the data dictionary when adding the dataset or create/modify it at any other time.

The extension adds an additional stage to the dataset setup dialog for entering metadata. It requires the DataStore extension and only works on CKAN versions that have two current stages in the 'add dataset' dialog. Available on PyPI as ckanext-dictionary.
