OpenCatalogi

The public-facing software, dataset, and API catalogue. Drops into your Nextcloud, surfaces every register as a searchable entry, federates to data.overheid.nl out of the box.

What it does

One catalogue, every register, every public link.

Connect OpenCatalogi to your registers, configure once, and your team is publishing searchable entries the same morning. Citizens land at jouwgemeente.nl/catalogi and find what they need without writing a Woo-verzoek.

Federated search by default.

Search runs across every register on your install plus every catalogue you've federated with. Results stay sovereign, no central index.

DCAT-AP profile, NLDS-aligned.

Every entry exports as DCAT-AP and NLDS metadata. data.overheid.nl picks it up without manual upload.

Citation-stable URLs.

Every catalogue entry gets a permanent identifier. Tweede Kamer-vragen and audit trails keep working through reorganisations.

WOO publication flow.

Eleven Woo-categorieën each get a register; the catalogue surfaces them at jouwgemeente.nl/woo with audit log and retention policies built in.

Open, forever.

Every entry exportable to plain JSON. The day you uninstall is as easy as the day you installed. No vendor lock-in, ever.

How it works

Four steps, one configuration pass.

The same pipeline applies to a software catalogue, a Woo-portal, or a public API directory. Configure the connector, point it at your register, the catalogue lights up.

Three apps that fill the catalogue.

OpenCatalogi surfaces what's already typed. These apps fill, connect, and extend the registers OpenCatalogi reads from.
