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)

Add package search facility in the rest api at /api/search

Queries can be provided as for the normal package search either by posting to that url or by performing a get with a query string.

E.g. .../api/search/package?q=xyz

Query parameters:

• q is keyword string (searches name, title, tags by default)
  • split by words and ANDed
• additional parameters for specific fields
• qjson is alternative to q for Searching by specific fields (in addition to keyword string). Payload to json is a JSON-encoded dict which is a dictionary with a q field for free text (keywords) and additional key/value pairs for specific fields
  • if q and qjson specified ignore q and just process qjson value

Additional parameters in addition to query ("q" or "qjson") are:

• limit
• offset
• fullinfo=0/1 - return full record for each result (default=0)
• order_by=field_name
• search_notes=0/1 (default 0) do we search notes field in a keyword search

Return value is json encoded dictionary with keys:

• 'results': list of results
• 'count': total number of results

Extras (for the future)

• Prioritisation is not part of this ticket (requires fulltext support in DB or in external app such as Xapian)

1. Package needs a groups property (backref Group.packages).
2. Put groups in the search api.
3. Display them on the package, but not editable. (Only editable from the group page.)
