Not much of a writer, but hey, I'm gonna give this a shot! I've got some news that I'm pretty pumped about sharing. You know how sometimes the coolest ideas pop up when you least expect them? Well, this one hit me during Hacktoberfest!I ended up developing this CKAN Handler for MindsDB, and I think it's turned out pretty awesome. So, bear with my not-so-pro writing skills, because I really think this project is worth shouting about from the rooftops (or at least from this blog post)!
🚀 Exciting News: CKAN Handle for MindsDB Now Available! 🎉
- Enables direct SQL querying of CKAN within MindsDB
- Implements automatic pagination, allowing effortless exploration of extensive datasets.
- Provides a straightforward interface to CKAN's datastore resources
🌐 Why This Integration Matters
This handler bridges open data repositories and advanced machine learning capabilities. It empowers data scientists and analysts to:
- Efficiently leverage diverse open datasets for AI/ML projects.
- Accelerate the data preparation phase in machine learning workflows.
- Democratize access to valuable public data resources.
🛠️ How it works
CKAN serves as a data catalog, organizing metadata and actual data in its databases incorporating Datapusher Plus, powered by the lightning-fast QSV library.
The integration utilizes CKAN's API endpoints to fetch data for processing using CKANAPI to fetch data, delivering it directly into MindsDB for subsequent analysis and model training.
Here's the thing – creating this handler gave me a fresh perspective beyond my usual CKAN development work (whether it's core stuff or extensions). But more than that, I'm really hopeful that this can empower Open Data usage to train useful models that could benefit all of us. My goal is to see this make a real impact on data science, opening up new possibilities and insights we haven't even thought of yet.
📢 Huge shoutout to the open-source communities and the teams behind CKAN, MindsDB and QSV for creating such a useful tools. And hey, if you're into open source and want to take a look under the hood or even contribute, that would be awesome.
