Provide Tabular Data Packages as a download #222
Comments
@Stephen-Gates can you detail exactly what is in there that prevents it being opened -- we of course want it openable in Data Curator 😄 |
@rufuspollock we check for "one, and only one json file" in the package at #L36 in importPackage.js When I download the zip from https://datahub.io/core/currency-codes#data, In Data Curator I get... @mattRedBox the datapackage.json contains some package properties that are part of the spec that we currently don't support, e.g. and some others that aren't in the spec, e.g. Other metadata extensions and variations from a tabular data package in the datapackage.json that I'm not sure how we handle, include:
Matt, If we got past the "one, and only one json file" error, I assume we'd just drop the above properties until we support them (see Data Curator #730, 419). Would Data Curator object to anything else? Given the spec says,
We should be able to locate the datapackage.json in the zip file and ignore the other json resources. |
Hi @Stephen-Gates |
ok just saw the issue raised. Understood. |
@mattRedBox we are opinionated and a tabular data package only has one JSON file in the spec. Let’s put it on the Data Curator Backlog and hope DataHub publishes tabular data packages or we find time to address in the future. |
While there are lots of interesting extras in the datapackage.zip provided for download, it goes beyond the basic tabular data package specification preventing the file from being opened and unpacked by apps such as Data Curator.
Please consider providing Tabular Data Packages for download.
