We are building a portal for open data – so citizens can get a wealth of Commission data in one place, easy to find, easy to search, and easy to use and re-use. [...] Not only that, but our portal will be based entirely on open source solutions. It uses the CKAN system, built in Europe, that many other governments are also using: including the UK and Australia, and now under consideration by the US and Canada.
Wolfgang from Ondics built an open source sheet music catalog on CKAN — with AI metadata generation, YouTube playback, and cross-instance sharing. Here's how.
A recap of what the CKAN community covered on June 17, 2026: a live demo of the new CKAN Ecosystem Catalog, a deep-dive into HDX Tabular Data Endpoints, the launch of the new community discussion forum — and, surprise surprise, a very unexpected use of CKAN as a sheet music directory with AI-assisted metadata. Yes, really.
