Description

The Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) is an open source web-based system for the storage, management and distribution of open data. From the CKAN User Guide:

"CKAN is a tool for making open data websites. (Think of a content management system like WordPress - but for data, instead of pages and blog posts.) It helps you manage and publish collections of data. It is used by national and local governments, research institutions, and other organizations who collect a lot of data."
