Used in layers

source health

Useful fields

dataset title, agency, resource URL, resource format, license, modified date, tags, API/DataStore availability

Reliability rating

Medium-high for discovery and context; operational reliability depends on endpoint stability.

Runtime truth

Runtime role

Health checked

Production ready

Yes

Entity scope

No runtime entity scope yet.

Observation scope

No live observation ingestion yet.

Decision scope

Not wired into active decisions yet.

Runtime note

A live connector checks this source in the status layer, but the source is not yet wired into observations or decisions.

How this helps travel recommendations

Discovers official datasets that can become travel signals, validates source provenance, and keeps the evidence layer explainable.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use CKAN/DataStore/package metadata APIs where available; promote only stable, licensed, well-cadenced resources into connectors.

Recommended refresh

Refresh weekly or when the catalog metadata changes; many agency catalogs update irregularly.

Travel scoring role

Discovers official datasets that can become travel signals, validates source provenance, and keeps the evidence layer explainable.

Comparable / backup source

data.go.th, Government Data Catalog, agency CKAN catalogs, HDX, Open Development Thailand, World Bank, and source-profile cross-links.

Example request

# Verify the documented catalog endpoint before production use.
curl -L "https://datagov.mot.go.th/" -H "Accept: application/json"

Failure modes

  • Catalog metadata can be current while attached resources are stale.
  • Resource formats can change.
  • Some datasets require registration or manual download.
  • Batch files can change schema, naming, encoding, or publication cadence.
  • Geospatial layers can be large, tiled, or projection-specific.

Last checked and source confidence

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
