Socrata Integration

Socrata provides a large number of government open data repositories. The Socrata RAMADDA plugin allows you to search, access and display data from Socrata. This is available as a development plugin. You will need to install the socrataplugin.jar. The plugin comes with a number of Socrata repositories pre-defined. You can add other repositories by adding a classes.txt file to your RAMADDA plugins directory. Add any number of lines of the form:

#org.ramadda.plugins.socrata.SocrataSearchProvider;<hostname>;<name>
org.ramadda.plugins.socrata.SocrataSearchProvider;data.cdc.gov;Center for Disease Control and Prevention
org.ramadda.plugins.socrata.SocrataSearchProvider;cdph.data.ca.gov;California Department of Public Health

Socrata maintains a list of available servers.
