This extension contains plugins that add geospatial capabilities to CKAN_,
including:

* A spatial field on the default CKAN dataset schema, that uses PostGIS_
  as the backend and allows to perform spatial queries and to display the
  dataset extent on the frontend.
* Harvesters to import geospatial metadata into CKAN from other sources
  in ISO 19139 format and others.
* Commands to support the CSW standard using pycsw_.

**Note**: The view plugins for rendering spatial formats like GeoJSON_ have
been moved to ckanext-geoview_.
