Plugin development

[areleu]

Hi, thanks a lot for your work in this tool it looks very promising. I see it as very necessary way of introducing non-experts to FAIR data management.

I have a question/suggestion, is it foreseen to enable the development of plugins for domain specific applications?

I am encouraging the folks of https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/oemetadata to update their schema to be compatible with your new data package specification: OpenEnergyPlatform/oemetadata#148 but I can imagine that they would eventually want to deviate a bit from it nevertheless. Thats where I think having extendability of the tool would be great, just having a way of it understanding custom schemas or extension of your specification would be great.

In other topic, if you have developer documentation I would be willing to implement a way of having RDF graph visualization which is important for some application I am working on.

Thanks again for the great tool.

Cheers!

Hello @areleu ! Thanks for the comments.

Definitely plugins is something we have in mind as a way to extend features in Open Data Editor. It will be in the To Do list for next year. The goal of the upcoming months is to stabilize the application and test it with some communities and get feedback.

We do have development documentation https://opendataeditor.okfn.org/contributing/development/. However we are still working on simplifying the architecture so you should expect a lots of codebase changes. I appreciate your enthusiasm to contribute but sadly it is not the right moment since we are doing some big changes and as well we do not have capacity to take care of new contributions.
