CKAN was recognized as a #DigitalPublicGood (#DPG) last year. This endorsement by the Digital Public Goods Alliance has amplified its global reach, aligning with the United Nations' #SustainableDevelopmentGoals (#SDGs). Numerous multilateral and philanthropic organizations including UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, United Nations OCHA, World Food Programme, FAO, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and more, trust and utilize CKAN for their #DataManagement needs. #CKAN is now honored to be listed as one of the 40 Digital Public Goods (DPGs) by the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation at Georgetown University!

#CKAN 2.11 introduces #TableDesigner: form builder and enforced validation for your #Data. This feature streamlines how we handle evolving data requirements and maintains #DataQuality at every step. 🛠 Here’s how it helps: - Schema-first design means you define your data structure upfront, ensuring consistency as your data evolves. - Excel templates with real-time validation let you catch errors before they become a problem. - Auto-generated web forms let you add, edit, or remove data directly in CKAN - no need for extra tools. - It works with CKAN's DataStore API, meaning you can connect your data with existing workflows effortlessly. - Custom validation rules make sure your data always meets your quality standards, even as requirements change. - Change tracking keeps a history of who did what, so you can always trace data edits if needed. - An auto-generated Data Dictionary makes it easy for others to understand and work with your data. Ian Ward, the main developer behind this feature, dives deeper into how Table Designer simplifies data management in our latest blog post.
