ckanext-csvwmapandtransform

Extension automatically generating csvw metadata for uploaded textual tabular data. It uploads the data of the first table documented into a datastore for the source csv file.

Requirements

Needs a running instance of the MapToMethod Application and RDFConverter Application Point at it through env variables. Also needed is a Api Token for an account with the right privaledges to make the background job work on private datasets and ressources.

CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_TOKEN=${CKAN_API_TOKEN}
MAPTOMETHOD_CONTAINER_NAME="ckan_maptomethod"
MAPTOMETHOD_APP_PORT=5002
# must be reachable from outside container net or iframe wil not work 
CKAN_MAPTOMETHOD_URL=http://<CKAN_HOST>:${MAPTOMETHOD_APP_PORT}
RDFCONVERTER_CONTAINER_NAME="ckan_rdfconverter"
RDFCONVERTER_APP_PORT=5003
CKAN_RDFCONVERTER_URL=http://${RDFCONVERTER_CONTAINER_NAME}:${RDFCONVERTER_APP_PORT}
CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_SQLALCHEMY_URL=postgresql://<ckandbuser>:<ckandbpassword>@<db>/ckandb
PARSER_PORT=3001
MAPPER_PORT=4000
CONVERTER_PORT=5000

You can set the default formats to run trusformation on by setting the env variable CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_FORMATS for example

CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_FORMATS="json-ld turtle n3 nt hext trig longturtle xml"

else it will react to the following formats: "json json-ld turtle n3 nt hext trig longturtle xml"

CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_FORMATS="json json-ld turtle n3 nt hext trig longturtle xml"

Compatibility with core CKAN versions:

CKAN version	Compatible?
2.9 and arlier	not tested
2.10	yes
2.11	yes

• "yes"
