To avoid keeping local databases about datasets (for instance, when writing code to track some aspect of datasets), store such information (such as the last time an ETL job was run on a given package) in the 'extras' metadata field of the CKAN package, as much as possible. This stores information in a centralized location so ETL jobs can be run from multiple computers without any other coordination. The extras metadata fields are cataloged on the [[CKAN Metadata]] page. | |||
