CKAN BAE Publisher

CKAN extension that allows users to publish datasets in the FIWARE Business API Ecosystem GE as offerings in an easy way. To do so, a new tab is added in the Datasets Manage menu that offers a form to set the basic options of the offering.

Offerings are not automatically published so the dataset creator must access this form and complete it in order to publish the dataset using the FIWARE Business API Ecosystem.

Note: This software is intended to integrate a CKAN instance with the FIWARE Business API Ecosystem and it won't work with other Marketplaces/Stores.

Requirements

• A CKAN instance able to connect to the FIWARE Business API Ecosystem via HTTP(s)
• FIWARE/TMF Business API Ecosystem v5.4.0 or higher
• OAuth2 CKAN Extension. This extension is needed since the requests sent to the BAE must include the OAuth2 credentials to identify the user that is creating the offering.
• CKAN Private Dataset Extension
