How awesome is this? @[email protected] (@[email protected]) have quietly developed a #MCP Server that is able to query (almost) all #CKAN Data Portals. That, of course, includes our @[email protected] Portal. They have a testing instance that you can include in your ChatGPT/Claude..

🚀 Today, we are excited to announce a new strategic partnership with #datHere to strengthen open, FAIR and AI-ready data infrastructure powered by #CKAN.

Towards more open-source solutions to tackle the most pressing issues of our time!

We created #CKAN over 20 years ago, and it's become the industry standard for #opendata portals.

It's used in over 50 countries – UK, US, India, Brazil, EU, as well as by many UN agencies, universities and research institutions worldwide.

Learn why 🎥 👇🏾 https://buff.ly/CBTVdXx

Today, we are showcasing the full potential of #CKAN at the #DPGProductFair, during the @dpgalliance Annual Members' Meeting in #Brasília 🇧🇷

Not to be confused with the awesome ckanext-embeddings by @amercader :blobfoxcofe_w_: https://catalog.civicdataecosystem.org/extension/ckanext-embeddings #CKAN

#CKAN Embed is a handy widget for embedding opendata.swiss and other CKAN searches on your website https://opendata-swiss.github.io/ckan-embed/examples/

✊🏾 "The most fundamental pillar of #opengovernment is software made by activists. If you have ever used official #opendata from Brazil, Canada, USA, UK, India, etc., you have used CKAN." – @avilarenata #OGPSummit

⛵️ #CKAN is a DPG recognised by the Digital Public Good Alliance

🟡 And also with a session by Software Developer @avdata99 on the future of #CKAN, the data management system maintained by OKFN which powers most of the #opendata portals worldwide.

More: https://buff.ly/9AvPCHL

🚀 #CKAN is the world’s leading open source data management system, powering hundreds of #opendata portals across the world.

@okfn maintains the software and holds CKAN assets in trust to guarantee best practice policies on governing openly and for the use of the trademark.

🤗 Today, our software developer Andres Vázquez @avdata99 took part in the #CKAN community workshop in Bologna, where we discussed use cases, upcoming features, experiments, new connections and collaborations.

New work blog post! 🚢 “Launched today – the updated Yukon open government portal” https://yukon.ca/en/digital-blog/launched-today-updated-yukon-open-government-portal

Really grateful to colleagues across the Yukon government that were part of making this happen, to everyone that has contributed to the CKAN open source project, and to open data folks across Canada that helped us along the way here. 💖 You’re awesome! #opendata #CKAN

Trying accessing a CKAN portal programmatically using {ckanr}.
Looking at the version in the server info noticed that the portal I'm experimenting with isn't currently using a supported version that gets security updates.
Should really be at least CKAN version >= 2.10.8.

Schaut mal, ich hab da mal wieder was angezettelt. Auf meiner #OpenData Reise durch die ein oder anderen regionalen Schatzkisten habe ich einige Portale gefunden, die OpenData Portale indizieren. Das könnte spannend werden.
