ckanext-Dataset-Reference

This CKAN extension ables CKAN users to link references to their dataset. A reference can be a publication or another dataset. The extension embeds the added references to the target dataset view as a table of citations.

There are three ways to add a reference:

• With the DOI number or link (look at http://dx.doi.org/)
• With pasting the BibTex (http://www.bibtex.org/) citation metadata (Not implemented yet)
• Manually adding the target reference metadata. (Not implemented yet)
