KYE Protocol™ for Open Data & Data Portals

One sector, many portal platforms

The Open Data & Data Portals sector covers nine portal classes. KYE Protocol™ governs them through the canonical Connector Profile™ — the same protocol primitives, different connector adapters per platform.

• Public-sector open-data portals (national + local government)
• Regulator data portals (FCA / EBA / EU agency / national regulators)
• Smart-city data hubs
• Research data catalogues (NIH / EBI / Zenodo / Dataverse)
• Health data catalogues
• NGO / humanitarian data portals
• Infrastructure transparency portals
• Enterprise internal data catalogues
• AI training-data catalogues

CKAN is the featured platform (40%+ of global open-data portals run on CKAN). Other platforms in the same sector pack: Socrata, Junar, ArcGIS Hub, dKAN.

What KYE Protocol™ adds to a data portal

• Authority — who is allowed to publish, update, delete or expose each dataset, and under what authority chain.
• Purpose — the declared purpose of every dataset publication, bound to licence + jurisdiction + retention.
• Evidence — a signed Evidence Pack™ on every publication / update / harvest / licence change, replayable offline.
• Audit replay — auditors and regulators can replay any publication decision against the canonical schemas. No screenshots; no spreadsheets.
• Consultant support — KYE Protocol™-vetted CKAN specialists in the directory, attribution-tracked.
• Sensitive-data review — V2 connector triggers a human review before a personal-data flag flips.
