CKAN Geoview provides comprehensive geospatial resource viewing capabilities through multiple viewer plugins based on OpenLayers and Leaflet mapping libraries. It includes an OpenLayers viewer that supports multiple geospatial formats and services including WMS, WFS, GeoJSON, GML, KML, and ArcGIS REST services. The extension also provides specialized Leaflet-based viewers for GeoJSON files, WMTS services, and ESRI Shapefile archives. Features include configurable base maps, interactive feature popups, support for various coordinate systems, and integration with CKAN’s resource proxy for external services. The viewers provide intuitive map interfaces for exploring geographic data directly within CKAN without requiring specialized GIS software.
