Show detailsckanext-ngds
This CKAN extension contains a number of functions that build integration with the National Geothermal Data System (NGDS).
The National Geothermal Data System (NGDS) supports the storage and search of information resources relevant to the discovery, understanding, and utilization of geothermal energy. It is a network of data providers supplying data and metadata, with an aggregating feature that provides a single entry point for searching resources available through the system.
Fundamental Operating Modes
This extension is designed to run two different types of CKAN sites to serve two different purposes within the NGDS. Depending on the operating mode, a different set of plugins need to be enabled. Some dependencies on external CKAN extensions are required as well.
Publisher: A node that is primarily used by a data provider to create metadata, make files avaialble for network access, deploy NGDS services to provide data access, or make metadata available for harvesting. Also refered to simply as Node.
- NGDS Plugins:
metadata, csw, ngdsui, geoserver
- External Plugins:
datastorer (ckanext-datastorer), spatial_metadata and spatial_query (ckanext-spatial)
Aggregator: A node that is primarily used to collect metadata from NGDS publishing nodes (and possibly from other metadata sources), and provide search and data browsing services to help users find what they need, evaluate it, and get it for their application. Also called Central.
- NGDS Plugins:
metadata, csw, ngdsui, ngds_harvester, geoserver
- External Plugins:
spatial_metadata, spatial_harvest_metadata_api, spatial_query (ckanext-spatial), csw_harvester, harvest, ckan_harvester, cswserver, and harvest (ckanext-harvest)
Plugins
This extension provides a number of plugins, each of which encapsulates a different aspect of NG
