Check out these test datasets to get an idea of how the > spatial extent is used and see the newly added map showing the dataset > coverage: > > http://test.ckan.net/dataset/test-dataset-extent-polygon > http://test.ckan.net/dataset/test-dataset-extent-point > > > * Datasets with geographic information can be queried via a new API > call that supports bounding box queries: > > http://test.ckan.net/api/2/search/package/geo?bbox=-180,-90,90,180 > > > * Another (experimental) feature is the ability to preview Web Map > Services (WMS). If a dataset has a resource with format 'WMS', a light > map viewer can be accessed to preview the service layers: > > http://test.ckan.net/package/test-wms--wales-natural-risk-zones/map > > > You can learn more about these features visiting the following wiki page: > > http://wiki.ckan.org/Geospatial_Capabilities > > We would love to hear your feedback and suggestions. > Also, for those of you who are interested in the geospatial > capabilities of CKAN, we are preparing an online meetup for the week > starting next 10th October. Stay tuned! > > > Looking forward for your comments, > > > Adrià > > > [1] https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-spatial > [2] http://geojson.org > > _______________________________________________ > ckan-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/ckan-discuss
