  data.gov.mt is the national government open-data portal for Malta, operated by MITA (Malta Information
  Technology Agency) as a bespoke "Shared Data Governance and Data Management Platform" with a JavaScript
  single-page-app front end (served at portal.data.gov.mt / open.data.gov.mt). It is DCAT-AP-compliant
  for EU harvesting (~230+ datasets) but exposes no publicly documented JSON catalog API. Malta's
  geospatial APIs are available separately via the MSDI geoportal.

      Bespoke MITA-built open-data portal (JS SPA) at portal.data.gov.mt / open.data.gov.mt. The catalog
      is DCAT-AP-compliant and harvested into data.europa.eu (~230+ datasets across sectors such as
      planning and statistics), but no public, documented JSON/REST catalog API was located; the SPA
      calls an undocumented internal backend. Standard CKAN paths 404 (it is not CKAN).
