A Wrapper Interface Tool (WIT) that verifies, aggregates, and filters metadata infos across CKAN-compatible Open Dataportals

Project description

CKAN-WIT: An API Wrapper for CKAN Open Data Portals

CKAN-WIT is a tool that aims to bring the best of open data portals to the developers and IT users from a different domain who might be interested in providing open data features on their web application or content management systems. CKAN standard is our first-class citizen.

The library leverages on the standard API characteristic of CKAN to allow for metadata aggregation, filtration, and presentation within a web application. It interacts with more than one single CKAN-instance and provides a simple interface for manipulating the metadata results.

CKAN-WIT is primarily meant to provide users and developers of applications with an easy way to access open data resources. No need for unnecessary harvesters and crawlers. Metadata from various CKAN instances are aggregated, filtered, and made available via geographic-location interfaces - Europe, Africa, America and Asia.

Why CKAN-WIT

The challenges that CKAN-WIT seeks to solve in the Open data Ecosystem are multi-faceted:

  • Knowing which open-data portal has the dataset/metadata you need can be problematic, CKAN-WIT access more than one portal instance and allows u to search more than one portal from one interface

  • Developers can focus on their business logic and workflows, whilst using the CKAN-WIT to provide add-on features on their web application.

  • Other CMS can easily integrate the tool to provide open-data add-on features to the CMS.

  • Abstract dependency needs from these portals, and just use CKAN-WIT.

  • Strongly encourage the use of geographic location to show the source of the metadata.
