Ohio State University

CHRR Open Data Portal (CKAN)

CKAN 2.10.10 open data portal operated by Ohio State's Center for Human Resource Research. The full CKAN Action API is public for read (status_show, package_list, package_show, datastore search) and currently publishes five datasets including the Consumer Finance Monthly survey series and historic voter files for all 50 states. The deployment mints its own DataCite DOIs under prefix 10.82271 through the registered repository gvuz.dcavye. The CKAN contract itself is CKAN's, not Ohio State's — what is Ohio State's is the deployment, the data and the DOI minting.
