Geospatial extension for CKAN

ckanext-spatial - Geo related plugins for CKAN

This extension contains plugins that add geospatial capabilities to CKAN, including:

• Geospatial dataset search powered by Solr, providing a bounding box via a UI map widget or the API.
• Harvesters to import geospatial metadata into CKAN from other sources in ISO 19139 format and others.
• Commands to support the CSW standard using pycsw.

Note: The view plugins for rendering spatial formats like GeoJSON have been moved to ckanext-geoview.

Full documentation, including installation instructions, can be found at:
