| Submission declined on 30 August 2024 by Utopes (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Utopes 2 months ago. | |

DKAN is an open-source platform built on the Drupal content management system, designed for managing and publishing open data. It is inspired by the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) and provides tools for the storage, publication, and management of datasets.[1] It is fundamentally a content repository for data assets like CSVs, Shape Files, JSON or even PDF files.
History
[edit]DKAN was initially released on October 2, 2012, by NuCivic. DKAN was adopted by governments around the world in an effort to provide greater transparency through Open Data[2]. The World Bank was one of many institutions who recommended DKAN for government data catalogs[3].
In 2017, stewardship of the platform transitioned to CivicActions, signifying a commitment to further development and community involvement.[4] In 2020, the platform was rewritten to support versions of Drupal 8 and later, including compatibility with Drupal 9 and 10.
In 2020, DKAN underwent a significant rewrite to support Drupal 8, and it has since been updated to work with Drupal 9 and 10.
Usage
[edit]Like Drupal, DKAN released under an Open Source and released under a GPL License, so it is free for anyone to download, use, modify and distribute. Sites like Builtwith.com do track its adoption over time[5].
Data.CMS.gov: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services use DKAN to manage their open data portals.[6]
Oak Ridge National Laboratory: DKAN is part of a collaboration with CivicActions on an open data project.[7]
Cambridgeshire Insight: DKAN powers this platform to provide access to data for research and analysis.[8]
Comparison with CKAN
[edit]DKAN offers similar functionalities to CKAN but is distinguished by its integration into the Drupal ecosystem, providing modularity and enhanced customization options.[9] Because it operates within the Drupal community, DKAN can be extended by the contributed modules and themes which are available. DKAN has also been built to be headless, offering greater flexibility for both mobile and desktop user interfaces.
