We are now harvesting metadata from other sources in various places around CKAN. Such harvesting can include:

• CSW/WFS for INSPIRE/UKLII (yields CKAN packages)
• Catalogue scraping for LOD2 experiments (yields RDF graphs)
• Atom/DCat for LOD2 production (yields RDF graphs)
• OAI-PMH for ​http://datadryad.org/ and other dspace (yields CKAN packages)

We should aim to consolidate the harvesting clients into a common system that is easy to extend when needed and can be re-used in different scenarios.

In general, such a system would have the following stages:

• Source selection: find what to download/scrape/harvest/parse
• Index retrieval (i.e. package index)
• Item retrieval (i.e. package entity)
• (Optional: Serialization)
• Normalisation
• Loading/Merging? into CKAN

Exisiting harvesters are at:

• CSW: ​https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-csw/src/
• Scraper+CKAN: ​https://bitbucket.org/pudo/dcat-tools/src/d5d96b06ec9a/dcat/crawl/

Needed to allow extensions to be internationalized in the code and in templates. Requires in-template i18n domain switching which is broken between Genshi and Pylons, thus needs this hackish class.
