The metadata tab could contain field names and spaces for values for the data that goes into a datapackage.json file. This enables the possibility to completely generate a data package from a spreadsheet.

I'm not sure I follow how this relates to importing data into Ohana API, which doesn't use or need a datapackage.json file. Could you elaborate on what it is exactly you're trying to do and what problem you're trying to solve?

I was thinking about packaging and validation. Bundling the CSV files into a .zip and including a datapackage.json file would combine a dataset into one file. Also in theory the csvlint.io tool can validate a single .zip file.

However should I be raising issues like this here? https://github.com/codeforamerica/OpenReferral/issues

Yes, it sounds like this issue doesn't belong in this repo. GitHub issues in this repo should mainly be opened for bugs that are preventing you from using Ohana API or causing unexpected results. As far as I know, importing and validating the data work as expected, as long as you follow the instructions.

Ohana API doesn't need any additional CSV files or a datapackage.json in order to perform the importing and validation, so I'm not quite sure why you need them.
