September 2025 was focused on expanding end-to-end automation, reliability, and data freshness across two repositories: Informatievlaanderen/data.vlaanderen.be2 and Informatievlaanderen/OSLO-Standaarden. Key work included establishing robust run orchestration and domain-specific run triggers, cleaning up outdated resources, and tightening validation for JSON-LD data views. The month delivered a scalable foundation for automated deployments, clearer run state management, and improved data integrity for consumer-facing schemas. Highlights include implementing the IMKL Run Workflow with enhanced triggering, enabling/disabling, and re-adding of IMKL runs; adding Persoon Run Trigger; launching Energiehuis Run with configuration cleanup; and enabling Leermiddelen Run Workflow. In OSLO-Standaarden, a Full Rebuild Trigger System for the jsonld view was introduced to refresh data/config, alongside automation triggers for CI/CD and external workflows. A major validation improvement came with the JsonLD Validation Script fix, ensuring JSON-LD integrity. Additional improvements included introducing a New Run flow, and Digital Transformation Process Trigger, extending automation coverage across domains. Finally, cleanup of outdated Leermiddelen resources reduced maintenance surface. Overall impact includes faster, more reliable run execution, reduced manual intervention, and clearer traceability across pipelines, with demonstrated skills in automation, CI/CD, data quality, and cross-repo coordination.
