As a

user browsing a CKAN package which has a resource in a bad format

I want to

be alerted to the possibility of scraping it on scraperwiki

Implementation

This should be done in a CKAN extension. It should appear in a side-bar on the package read page.

If the package does not have a resource with scraperwiki.com in the url, then it displays this message:

Title: Scrape it
Image: (Scraperwiki dumper truck)
Body text: Could this data be in a better format? Why not use Scraperwiki to extract data from tables, Excel or PDF for everyone's benefit? You can ​request this data is scraped or even ​write the scraper yourself.

We should link to representations on semantic.ckan.net

• Each package page could link to its RDF representation
  • "Alternative formats" near star rating. Has logo for RDF (link to RDF) and JSON (link via CKAN REST i/f).
  • Some instances of ckan won't need this, so have option in ini file for this. rdf_store_url=xyz
  • Include machine-readable link to the RDF:

    <meta http-equiv=... />
    

  • 303 redirect to RDF when content negotiation requires RDF. Test:

    curl -I -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://localhost:5000/package/warandpeace
    

Cost: 3h

Future

• Search page to link to SPARQL interface: ​http://semantic.ckan.net/sparql
• License/dump page could link to full RDF dump.
