Endpoints are access points to an API that allow interaction between different software systems. In the context of CKAN, endpoints are essential for enabling access to the data and metadata stored on the platform.
We have several endpoints available on our CKAN instance:
- Geographic Metadata (CSW INSPIRE): This endpoint allows access to geographic metadata in accordance with the INSPIRE regulations, through the CSW (Catalog Service for the Web) standard.
- CKAN API: This endpoint provides programmatic access to the CKAN instance's data and functionality, allowing for operations like data search, package creation, and more.
- Open Data in RDF: This endpoint allows access to data in RDF (Resource Description Framework) format, a standard for data exchange on the web.
- Open Data in Turtle: This endpoint provides data in Turtle format, a compact and easy-to-read syntax for RDF.
- Open Data in JSON-LD: This endpoint offers data in JSON-LD format, a representation of RDF data in JSON that allows interoperability between different data services.
- SPARQL Endpoint: This endpoint allows querying of RDF data using the SPARQL query language. It enables complex queries over the data.
