ckanext-spatial - Geo related plugins for CKAN

This extension contains plugins that add geospatial capabilities to CKAN.

You should have a CKAN instance installed before adding these plugins. Head to the CKAN documentation for information on how to set up CKAN.

The extension adds a spatial field to the default CKAN dataset schema, using PostGIS as the backend. This allows to perform spatial queries and display the dataset extent on the frontend. It also provides harvesters to import geospatial metadata into CKAN from other sources, as well as commands to support the OGC CSW standard via pycsw.
