- *Geospatial support of common data catalog formats*. Notably DCAT has
become prevalent thanks to the development & adoption of CKAN by many
national governments. The spatial capabilities are nascent, so what would
OSGeo recommend as better practices. Maybe also consider open-source
implementations of DCAT publishing and consuming libraries so that more
tools (e.g. QGIS) could publish or search and consume from DCAT-capable
catalogs
Please have a look at the PublicaMundi project we completed last year.
http://publicamundi.eu/
We believe that we enhanced the CKAN geospatial capabilities quite a lot
in this project.
Regarding catalog capabilities in QGIS, there is an ongoing discussion
about implementing some new metadata functionality in QGIS core.
Also GeoDCAT-AP support is on the roadmap of pycsw.
Best,
Angelos
