gCube Data Catalogue.... using CKAN.
CKAN is a powerful data management system that makes data accessible – by providing tools to streamline publishing, sharing, finding and using data. CKAN is an open-source DMS (data management system) for powering data hubs and data portals. CKAN makes it easy to publish, share and use data see: http://ckan.org/
gCube Data Catalogue Metadata
A Metadata in the gCube Data Catalogue is composed by two parts: CKAN's default metadata fields and gCube Metadata Format.
- CKAN's default metadata fields
Those are metadata fields common for all metadata types in the gCube Data Catalogue (and used by default in the CKAN platform).
| Label | Field Name (API) | Definition | Guidelines | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Title* | title | Name given to the dataset. | Short phrase, written in plain language. Should be sufficiently descriptive to allow for search and discovery. | Aquaculture Production and Consumption in Cambodia (2011) |
| Description* | description | Short description explaining the content and its origins. | Description of a few sentences, written in plain language. Should provide a sufficiently comprehensive overview of the resource for anyone to understand its content, origins, and any continuing work on it. The description can be written at the end, since it summarizes key information from the other metadata fields. | This dataset contains attributes of aquaculture production and consumption for each of Cambodia’s provinces in 2011. The data was provided by……… |
| Tags | tags | An array of Taxonomic terms stored as tags | Taxonomic terms | Access to education, Bamboo |
| License* | lincese_title | The license that applies to published dataset. | All resources wholly created by Open Development Mekong are licensed as Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike (CC-BY-SA). Resources from other sources retain their original licenses, as does each component from an resource aggregated from multiple sources. If unclear, contact the source to determine the resource's license. | |
| Copyright | odm_copyright | The copyright that applies to the dataset. | Select 'yes', 'no' or 'unclear copyright' about the copyright of the dataset. If copyright of any type is present, describe further in Access and User Constraints | 'All rights reserved', © or 'Copyright 2009 by Jane Smith' |
| Access and use constraints | odm_access_and_use_constraints | A few sentences describing legal constraints of dataset, such as copyrights | Standardized statements found on datasets that cover intellectual property and copyright. | In deference to Cambodian law, Open Development Cambodia (ODC) site users understand and agree to take full responsibility for reliance on any site information provided and to hold harmless and waive any and all liability against individuals or entities associated with its development, form and content for any loss, harm or damage suffered as a result of its use. |
| Organization* | organization | Organization the datasets belongs to | See list of organizations on <a rel="nofollow" title="http://data.opendevelopmentmekong.net/organization/" class="urlextern" href="http://data.opendevelopmentmekong.net/organization/">http://data.opendevelopmentmekong.net/organization/</a> | odm-cambodia |
| Version* | version | Version of dataset | Increase manually after editing | 1.0 |
| Contact* | odm_contact | Contact information for the individual or organization that is responsible for or most knowledgeable about the dataset. This could be the author of a report, the contact information for the relevant department of an organization that produced a report, or the data analyst, mapper or researcher that produced a dataset or report. | Name / Organization / Phone / Website / Address | |
| Uploader* [H] | maintainer | Uploader of the dataset | The person who created the dataset. Only visible to registered users of the ODI CKAN data hub. | Joe Bloggs |
| Uploader contact* [H] | maintainer_email | Contact details of uploader | The email or other contact details of the person who created the dataset. Only visible to administrators of the uploader's organisation. | joe@example.com |
- gCube Metadata Format and Fields
gCube Data Catalogue provides a Metadata Format XML-based in order to define custom metadata fields. It is described as following:
<metadataformat>
<metadatafield>
<fieldName>Name</fieldName>
<mandatory>true</mandatory>
<isBoolean>false</isBoolean>
<defaulValue>default value</defaulValue>
<note>shown as suggestions in the insert/update metadata form of CKAN</note>
<vocabulary>
<vocabularyField>field1</vocabularyField>
<vocabularyField>field2</vocabularyField>
<vocabularyField>field3</vocabularyField>
</vocabulary>
<validator>
<regularExpression>a regular expression for validating values</regularExpression>
</validator>
</metadatafield>
</metadataformat>
