City, Gdańsk vs Open Government, ACT
Otwarty Gdańsk (Open Gdańsk) runs a standard CKAN 2.x installation; a live keyless GET against `ckan.multimediagdansk.pl/api/3/action/package_search` returned full JSON dataset metadata with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header on both the plain response and an OPTIONS preflight. The catalogue covers Gdańsk municipal transit, budget, and environmental datasets, with individual resources downloadable as CSV, JSON, or XLSX depending on the publisher.
Data.act.gov.au is the Australian Capital Territory's open-data portal, run on Socrata; its catalog discovery API at `www.data.act.gov.au/api/catalog/v1` answers keyless GETs with full dataset JSON and a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header (the bare `data.act.gov.au` apex briefly redirects through plain HTTP before landing back on the `www` host over HTTPS, so link to `www` directly). Individual datasets are queryable through Socrata's SODA API in JSON or CSV, covering ACT government services, planning, and community data.
