Description

It would be very helpful to extend CKAN to provide a fork functionality of data sets, in spirit of Github. The originator of a data set should be able to see differences. This would require to implement some domain specific visualizations on top, eg. when diffing KML files, however for CSVs this should be relatively straight forward.

Research direction

Start by reviewing CKAN's current dataset and revision architecture; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Define the scope for forking datasets, showing differences to the originator, and handling visualizations for CSV and KML data before implementation can begin.
