Incorrect DCAT output on the data.json endpoint

AdriàMercader

Hi,

I'm a member of the CKAN ​maintainers team and I'm using the DCAT extension to import datasets from an ArcGIS Open Data instance from a client (following roughly these steps). This essentially uses the data.json endpoint:

http://opendata.arcgis.com/data.json

I've noticed that some the URLs for the different distributions or resources for the datasets were not imported correctly, and found that the key for `accessURL` in some of the distributions is wrong:

distribution": [

...
{

    "@type": "dcat:Distribution",
    "title": "CSV",
    "format": "CSV",
    "mediaType": "text/csv",
    "downloadUrl": "http://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/9b70131cd4984300bd8af47c4176ca77_0.csv"

},
{

    "@type": "dcat:Distribution",
    "title": "KML",
    "format": "KML",
    "mediaType": "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml",
    "downloadUrl": "http://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/9b70131cd4984300bd8af47c4176ca77_0.kml"

},

    {   
        "@type": "dcat:Distribution",
        "title": "Shapefile",
        "format": "ZIP",
        "mediaType": "application/zip",
        "downloadURL": "http://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/9b70131cd4984300bd8af47c4176ca77_0.zip"
    }   

],

Note `accessUrl` on eg KML vs `accessURL` on the shapefile. The DCAT standard is clear on what the correct case is so I think that's a bug on the ArcGIS side.

Is this something that can be fixed on future versions? If so what sort of timeline can be expected?

Many thanks

Hey Adrià,

This bug fix is in progress and should be released in a couple weeks.

Thanks for your post and your patience!
