  operated by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs / Digital Iceland. It provides a GraphQL gateway at api.island.is
  (authentication-gated) that fronts internal REST microservices, with business/government-to-government REST services described
  using OpenAPI 3.0 and registered in the X-Road "Straumurinn" API Catalogue. The developer handbook is published at docs.devland.is.
  Iceland's former CKAN open-data portal (opingogn.is) has been decommissioned and now redirects to island.is.
