The dai_thesauri_harvester plugin for CKAN enables the harvesting of tags from [idai.thesauri.de](http://thesauri.dainst.org) and their addition to a CKAN instance database table. It facilitates the enrichment of dataset metadata by allowing the use of standardized tags from the Digital Archaeological Institute (DAI) Thesaurus. Furthermore, the plugin publishes an API endpoint that is utilized in the package form, enhancing data entry and search capabilities.
- Harvest tags from
[idai.thesauri.de](http://thesauri.dainst.org). - Populate a CKAN database table with harvested tags.
