ckanext-spatial - Geo related plugins for CKAN
==============================================
.. image:: https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-spatial/workflows/Tests/badge.svg?branch=master
:target: https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-spatial/actions
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:
