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

• A spatial field on the default CKAN dataset schema, that uses PostGIS as the backend and allows to perform spatial queries and to display the dataset extent on the frontend.
• 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:

https://docs.ckan.org/projects/ckanext-spatial/en/latest/

In order to try out a Gemini 2.3 file with the validator add this to the harvest source config -

{"validator_profiles": ["iso19139eden", "constraints-1.4", "gemini2-3"]}

To use the default CKAN tag schema add this to the CKAN ini file

ckan.spatial.validator.use_default_tag_schema = true
