Extension for CKAN: HRO-DCAT-AP.de

A custom DCAT-AP.de implementation for OpenData.HRO, the open data portal of the Hanseatic and University City of Rostock (https://www.opendata-hro.de/).

This extension provides a specific DCAT-AP profile built on top of euro_dcat_ap3 from ckanext-dcat. It extends and adapts functionality from ckanext-dcatde and ckanext-dcatde_berlin, following a non-intrusive approach—no database migrations and no changes to CKAN core.

Many thanks to the contributors of these projects for their foundational work.
