The DataGate/CKAN is a special module of CKAN open source portal for data set management and publication. CKAN supports the management of multiple collections, multiple organizations, etc. DataGate has been designed to collect/upload open data sets and process them automatically for data ingestion, field cleaning and regularizing, and for reconciliation of entities towards a Knowledge Base grounded on Km4City. The resulting cleaned data set is also accessible for further reuse and can be automatically published on the DataGate. It is a exceptional tool for shortening time to ingest and publish of datasets including for example:

  • referral data, statistical data, etc.;
  • open and not open data sets with geolocations;
  • descriptive data, that just describe the entities of the city and provide for them metadata, GPS and/or shapes

DataGate is also federated with other CKAN open data repositories in the world via the mechanism of Harvest: https://datagate.snap4city.org/harvest . So that thousands of data sets are accessible via DataGate and can be published in international networks of open data. The federation of new repositories / harvest can be requested to snap4city@disit.org by https://www.snap4city.org/drupal/contact 

Since it is based on CKAN, the solution also presents API for automated upload of Open Data Sets, and for the cross sharing of Open Data among different CKAN/DataGates. In Snap4City, the CKAN APIs are used for automatically managing and publish Data Sets in bulk by:

  1. extracting data collected from ETL and/or IOT, For example, the proposed solution allows to defined process that publish periodically all data of a given source: the collected sensors data of an area every day, etc. Go on Github of Disit Lab to download a large collection of ETL processes including those to work in automatic manner with DataGate publication and ingestion. 
  2. providing data sets produced as result of Data Analytics algorithms and solutions.
