#2407: 'Access denied' message is unhelpful

markw — Mon, 21 May 2012 15:01:40 GMT

This chap tried to use the API to add a dataset to a group and got the uninformative message 'Access denied':

http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-dev/2012-May/002229.html

The problem was he didn't have access to the group. A message like 'You don't have access to the group "LODcloud"' would have been clearer.

#3025: Add requests to core requirements

Because yes please

#728: CSW Harvesting shall be optimised in respect of reharvesting only records that have changed

johnbywater — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 15:35:40 GMT

Hi Will, this is important again because some CSW servers we use have over 300 documents in. Could you take a look at modifying the filter please?

#2382: Investigate options for basic geocoding

amercader — Mon, 14 May 2012 17:39:20 GMT

A simple way for geocoding place names would be very useful, e.g in the spatial search, defining a geometry for a dataset (on the form or bulk)

#794: Investigate reconciling UKLP Publisher and Provider with DGU

johnbywater — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 14:50:11 GMT

This needs more analysis, but the GEMINI2 attribute "metadata point of contact" must be reconciled with the registered publisher (or agent).

This might also be used to filter records harvested from a CSW source, but filtering also needs more analysis, as does distinction between agent and provider.

#3023: New methods on IPackageController to provide access to the data_dict

amercader — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 17:00:57 GMT

Extension hooking into the edit and create methods of the IPackageController interface receive the package object. This may not include all the fields that came from the form. The new extension points will pass the validated data_dict so extensions can have access to it

#2949: Reenable Data API button on the new theme

amercader — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 16:04:24 GMT

The checks to show or not the button need to be updated for the latest datastore version

#1815: Reenable Sparql endpoint on publicdata.eu

amercader — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:08:43 GMT

Estimate: ?

The 4store Sparql endpoint has been down for a long time. It needs to be reenabled and we need to check that the necessary informtion is pushed when creating /editing a dataset.

#1818: Spatial metadata editor

amercader — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:52:21 GMT

Estimate 2.5d

Right now users need to manually enter a geojson value in the 'spatial' extra field in order to define a geometry for a dataset.

We need a map widget on the edit form that allows users to draw the geometry on top of a map. This will be based on the draw functions offered by OpenLayers? [1], [2].

Things to take into account:

Integration with the form sections.
Allow some degree of configuration (default extent, limit geometry types...)

#2788: Speed improvements on creating/updating and indexing

amercader — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:56:32 GMT

Specially needed when importing large numbers of datasets.

Profiling the import command from the harvesting extension has shown some areas where improvements could be made.

#3026: Support icons on nav_named_link

amercader — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:51:56 GMT

nav_named_link won't include the nice icon even when passing the icon keyword param.

#1152: True support for generic CSW servers

amercader — Mon, 23 May 2011 09:02:14 GMT

The CSW harvesters implemented at the moment were developed with the DGU project in mind, and they assume all remote CSW servers to implement the Gemini 2 specification. Gemini 2 is the profile defined in the UK for INSPIRE complying metadata, so obviously catalogs from other countries or non-INSPIRE complying ones won't be able to be harvested.

The changes needed to support generic CSW servers (i.e. those implementing the ISO 19139 profile) are:

Handling the validators (right now are hardcoded in the harvester

code). This probably involves issues discussed in the CREP 3 (ticket #1134)

Changes in the model to adapt the specification to ISO 19139

Renaming objects and classes which are now Gemini-centric
