Urban data, leveled up. The University of Glasgow’s Urban Big Data Centre (UBDC) needed a modern, scalable data portal - so we built it. Their old system? ❌ Clunky, outdated, & missing key features. The new one? ✅ Sleek, secure, & CKAN-powered. 🔎 Smarter search & metadata 🔐 Granular access controls 🔗 DOI integration for dataset visibility ☁️ GDPR-compliant & cloud-hosted 📖 Read the full case study: datopian.com/showcase/case-s… #OpenData #DataPortals #CKAN #UrbanData #Datopian #DataResearch #OpenScience #OpenDataPortal

🔍 Ever opened a dataset & thought: What am I looking at? A file named `hosp_adm_yr.csv` with no title, no description - just numbers. That’s #OpenData without #Metadata. The "data about data". At Datopian, we use #AI to: 🚀 Auto-generate metadata 📊 Infer table schemas 📈 Suggest visualizations The result? Data that speaks, not just sits. Want to enhance your #DataPortals with AI-powered metadata enrichment? Let’s talk.
