As a user I want to be able to create groups of packages.

This functionality is different from tags:

• The ability to add a package to a given group is restricted whereas anyone can add a given tag to a package
• Specifically groups have owners and only the owners can add a package to that group

Group properties

• id (primarykey, uuid style)
• name (restricted content - same rules as package)
• title (no restrictions)
• owners -- many:many with user object
• description (markdown)
• packages -- many:many with package object

Don't version groups for now.

Groups address in the WUI will be:

• /group - browse list of groups (reuse list action)
• /group/list - same thing for now
• /group/<groupname> - display: group properties with links to packages. No links to user pages (yet).

Group editing and searching will be another ticket.

Cost: 3d

Sister to ticket:90 (Link to RDF version of CKAN data on Talis Connected Commons).

Talis have already kindly done an initial conversion. We should repeat this process regularly and re-upload the data to Talis CC.

In the long run may wish to only re-convert packages changed since the last upload. However given relatively smaller size of full dataset this optimization is probably not yet required.

Attached is the ruby script used by Talis for conversion

Cost: ? (1d+ depending on e.g. how easy integration with Talis CC is)

Often people who are registering resources want to make the associated material available. We should:

• Provide a dedicated upload page giving instructions as to upload process
  1. Explain we don't store the data itself on CKAN. Suggest uploading to a store somewhere and then linking using download_url (that is its purpose)
  2. Upload to
     • Talis CC for RDF
     • archive.org
     • grid.okfn.org
• link to this page from next to download_url item on new package page

In long run (now ticket:186) we may automate this by providing a ckan upload facility which caches the data and then reuploads it to relevant service (disadvantage is "we" are the owner of the data on that service ...)
