Open Government, ACT vs Open Government, Belgium

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.

Data.gov.be is Belgium's federal open-data portal, built on a custom Drupal-based platform rather than CKAN. Rather than a search REST API, it publishes its full catalogue as a DCAT-AP metadata export (RDF/XML and N-Triples) and exposes it live through a Triple Pattern Fragments / Linked Data Fragments server at `ldf.belgif.be/datagovbe`, which answers unauthenticated with a wildcard CORS header. The main site itself also sits behind bot-detection middleware that can block naive scripted fetches, but the LDF endpoint and the documented DCAT export are both reachable directly.
