• The Content Generation Guide contains similar instructions, please review as well if necessary.

On the Datahub 2 different types of datasets are currently stored/administered:

• Dataset
• Library records

See Registering a new user (Content Generation guide)

See Requesting an organization's admin to join (Content generation guide)

See For Admins: Assigning a user to an existing Organization ( Content generation guide)

Once the Admin has added you to a certain Organization, you will be able to start adding content to the library, for that:

• Click on the Library tab at the top of the page.

• Click the Add Library Record button and the following form for inputting the Publication's information will be presented.

• Fill out the form provided specifying details about the publication. Please note that fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory and must have data entered to create the library item. Pay special attention at the fields under Open Development Network Library publication. These are not mandatory to complete the form, as this information may not be available for all records. Please make sure to check careful for the following information and enter it if available: ISBN, ISSN, Author, Title, Publication Name.

Note: CKAN generate urls from title of resource in English language. For parallel entries (one in English and another in local language), it is advisable to add -en to the end of the title and use the English title with a two-letter language code for the local language (ie. -kh).

For example: Item Title in English: On stony ground: A look into social land concessions CKAN's url: https://data.opendevelopmentmekong.net/library/on-stony-ground-a-look-into-social-land-concessions-en

Title in Khmer: ដីដែលមិនអាចដាំដំណាំបាន៖ ការពិនិត្យទៅលើសម្បទានដីសង្គមកិច្ច CKAN's url: https://data.opendevelopmentmekong.net/library/on-stony-ground-a-look-into-social-land-concessions-kh
