Important note:

Only the source code for the updated or modified open source components is provided. There are no installers / installation programmes included here. The reader should refer to the standard installation process for each open source component, as published on GitLab.

Here is a short overview of the components that are available.

• CKAN extensions
  Portal's central metadata (dataset) repository
• Licensing Assistant
  Component to provide legal information on (re-)usage of specific datasets
• SPARQL Manager
  SPARQL query editor allowing to run SPARQL queries on linked data in the Virtuoso repository
• map.apps European Data Portal Bundles
  This component provides geospatial visualisations of data that is made available through the portal. I t contains a set of extensions for map.apps. Those extensions and a fully functional app are available that can be used out-of-the-box, specifically developed to meet the setup of the EDP.
  NOTE: This component is based on con terra map.apps (proprietary) that enables visualisation of geospatial data and information. It comes with a variety of map tools and provides thematic focus, a graphical configuration interface, supports responsive web-design, i18n internationalization files and client side implementation of the OSGI specification (JavaScript). A map.apps evaluation licence can be requested on demand (check details at the GitLab repository).
• map.apps - CKAN proxy
  In order to have access to external services that do not support CORS, a proxy is required for map.apps. This proxy harvests the CKAN API and stores the domains in a whitelist, thus allowing all registered datasets to be proxied.
• Harvester (Metadata Transformer Service)
  Single entry point component for harvesting data from multiple data sources in different formats and from different APIs
• Geo-Harvester
  Single entry point component for harvesting geospatial data from multiple Geoportals in different formats and from different APIs
• Gazetteer
  This is a component providing a geographical dictionary and spatial information.
  NOTE: This component uses FME and smart.finder. FME and smart.finder are used by the Gazetteer as a search tool and a universal spatial ETL provider (Extract-Transform-Load) that supports accessing, processing and outputting of all spatial file / database formats and that is used for harvesting the sources for geographical names. A smart.finder evaluation licence or FME evaluation licence can be requested on demand (check details at the GitLab repository).
• MQA
  Metadata Quality Assistant: Component to report on the quality of the harvested metadata and to alert helpdesk in case of issues
• Service to connect to MT @ EC Translation Service
  MT @ EC is the Machine Translation Services of the European Commission used for translation of the metadata into all of the supported languages by the portal. The service that connects to MT @ EC is published as open source.
