Extension for CKAN: HRO-DCAT-AP.de

A custom implementation of DCAT-AP.de for OpenData.HRO, the open data portal of the municipality of Rostock – view it in production: https://www.opendata-hro.de/

HRO-DCAT-AP.de defines a DCAT-AP profile that needs to be layered right on top of euro_dcat_ap, as defined in ckanext-dcat. It builds on both ckanext-dcatde and ckanext-dcatde_berlin and works like the latter, i.e. no database conversion necessary and the CKAN core remains untouched.

Many thanks to the contributors to both ckanext-dcatde and ckanext-dcatde_berlin where much of the code is derived from.

Requirements

• CKAN
• ckanext-dcat

Installation

1. Activate your CKAN virtual Python environment, for example:

   . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
   

2. Install HRO-DCAT-AP.de into your virtual Python environment:

   pip install -r https://github.com/rostock/ckanext-hro_dcatapde/raw/master/requirements.txt
   pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/rostock/ckanext-hro_dcatapde.git#egg=ckanext-hro_dcatapde'
   

3. Add hro_dcatapde to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at /etc/ckan/default/ckan.ini)

5. Restart CKAN. For example, if you have deployed CKAN with Apache HTTP Server on Ubuntu:

   sudo service apache2 reload
   

Upgrade

1. Activate your CKAN virtual Python environment, for example:

   . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
   

2. Upgrade HRO-DCAT-AP.de within your virtual Python environment:

   pip install --upgrade -r https://github.com/rostock/ckanext-hro_dcatapde/raw/master/requirements.txt
   pip install --upgrade -e 'git+https://github.com/rostock/ckanext-hro_dcatapde.git#egg=ckanext-hro_dcatapde'
