Project Description
The OGDI Field Module is a module for Drupal content management platform, which allows you to display data stored in
Open Government Data Initiative (OGDI) open data catalogues within Drupal powered sites. The module adds a CCK field to any content type, and accepts a valid URL to a OGDI dataset as input, and outputs
a slick, themed scrollable, filterable, sortable, searchable table and a map displaying that data.
About Drupal OGDI Field Module
This module integrates MIcrosoft Open Government Data Initiative (OGDI) within a
Drupal content management platform.
It was originally developed as an extension the
DataDotGC.ca website, a citizen-led open government data portal for Canada. This site was built in Drupal and uses CKAN (the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network) for cataloguing the data, but originally did not store any datasets. OGDI was selected
as an open-source solution to load and store open data; it includes a Data Service and a Data Browser, enables an easy way to access, browse & filter datasets.
The end-result is having a method of displaying data stored in OGDI instances on Drupal-powered websites.
Examples:
1) Edmonton data in DataDOTgc Drupal / CKAN powered site with OGDI module:
http://www.datadotgc.ca/dataset/location_of_historic_buildings_in_edmonton
(reads OGDI data from:
http://data.edmonton.ca/DataBrowser/coe/HistoricalBuildings#param=NOFILTER--DataView--Results)
2) Environment Canada data in DataDOTgc Drupal / CKAN powered site with OGDI module:
http://www.datadotgc.ca/dataset/emitter_facility_data
(reads OGDI data from:
