Proprietary SaaS Open Data Portal Market Leaders

Open Source Market Leader

In 2012 CKAN Broke Out...

CKAN In the US

CKAN Worldwide

• No vendor lock-In / choice of consultants / ability to build in-house capacity • Collaborate w/ our peers (White House)

• Security transparency (US DoD is a major consumer for this reason)

• Open-Source platforms often pay more heed to open formats and standards (e.g.: DCAT, RDFa, OData, JSON vs Shapefiles, PDF, etc.)

• Innovation: healthy open-source projects can aggregate more engineering effort than proprietary alternatives, propagate great new extensions faster

• Freedom of Hosting Options: consume as a cloud-hosted service today, change our mind and host in-house tomorrow, etc.

Why Open-Source Matters...

Drupal  “DKAN”  Distribu&onOpen-­‐Source  Data  Management  System  (DMS)  

+  Content  Management  System  (CMS)  =  Streamlined  Data  Collabora&on

Open Data is Just “Sharing Your Files”

• Datasets  are  collecZons  of  resources,  with  some  descripZve  metadata

• Resources  are  just  files.  They  can  be  any  kind  of  file,  but  ocen  they  are  CSV  files,  spreadsheets  or  some  other  kind  of  tabular  data  file.

• OrganizaZons  create  datasets  and  upload  resources.

• Data  consumers  can  browse  datasets  and  someZmes  see  visualiza0ons  of  resources.
