An open, decentralized network for data discovery built on ATProto. Publish metadata, build portals, find data.
Matadisco: Can We Bootstrap Public Data Discovery with ATProto?
Let's talk about a system for universal data discovery, that doesn't depend on any single institution staying funded or online.

🪩 Introducing matadisco.org! — a way to discover open datasets via #atproto that doesn't depend on any single institution staying online. 🕺🏼 We have more public data than ever (satellite imagery, climate models, genomic sequences), but finding it is still painfully hard. https://matadisco.org

What is atproto?
What is atproto? atproto is two things: A protocol for creating open social networks An open social network atproto, the open social network Today the atproto network has 36+ million users and powers Bluesky and a handful of other apps. Almost all atproto data is public. Content like posts, likes, follows, and photos/videos are publicly accessible to any network participant in a permissionless way. As an example of how open the network is, here’s how easy it is to stream all public data on the network using a public atproto Relay like bsky.network:
Emerging from being "down in the technical weeds" of #atproto is a little mashup of @semble.so & WayFinder (wayfinders.network) Semble team released "open collections" this week - here we explore the "private & permissioned data" collection, created by @bmann.ca & now with 3 other contributors
made atproto.md awhile ago, just added some relay features. discover repos by collection and constellation backlinks. connect your agent to the /mcp to fetch records, resolve actors, discover repos and more. try it out, suggest stuff, contribute.

atproto.mdVery cool project connecting atproto with the Underlay knowledge graph protocol "[The Underlay] is an archive. [atproto] is a wire. Together they give a collection both permanence and real-time distribution." And check out these neat #ATScience examples too! underlay.org/blog/2026-04-28-atproto-integ…
