CKAN

Make open data websites.

CKAN is an open‑source data management system designed for creating and operating data portals and hubs. It provides a web interface for cataloguing, storing, and accessing datasets, together with a full API that enables programmatic interaction with both the data and its metadata. The platform includes built‑in visualization tools and supports publishing and sharing data publicly or within an organization.

The software is targeted at government agencies, enterprises, and any organization that needs to publish open data or manage internal data assets. It is used by national and regional governments across multiple continents as well as companies in sectors such as resources, energy, pharmaceuticals, and finance.

CKAN is self‑hostable, free to use, and released under the AGPL‑3.0 license. It is maintained by an active community that offers documentation, mailing lists, chat, and Stack Overflow support, and it is recognized as a Digital Public Good supporting several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
