Missing data between old.datahub.io and datahub.io? #276

Closed CecileRobin closed 4 years ago

Hi,

I wanted to know the difference between datahub.io and old.datahub.io? I thougtht datahub.io was the latest version, but when I look for data related to "apartium", the old.datahub retrivevs a few datasets while datahub.io does not find anything. Is there a reason for that?

@CecileRobin datahub.io is indeed the new version. The new datahub.io is a completely new architecture and setup (vs the old datahub.io which is running on an old version of ckan).

The new datahub.io is focused much more on data (vs just metadata) publication. As a result, we did not migrate datasets from old.datahub.io systematically (because many of them are just metadata). Some datasets were migrated, usually where there was actual data, and some metadata content was moved to https://datahub.io/collections/.

Hope that helps 😄
