2. The Open Knowledge Foundation
A not-for-profit organisation promoting
openness in all its forms.
Progress through community engagement organise events to bring people together.
We have projects and partnerships
throughout the world, especially in Europe.
We build tools and communities to
create, use and share open
knowledge - content and data that every
one can use, share and build on.
Aim to improve governance, research
and the economy.
14. Add and edit dataset metadata
through an easy-to-use interface
• Add title, url, license etc
• Add data files and resources
• Group and tag your dataset,
making it easier to find through
browsing
• add maintainer, source and
contact details
• create custom additional fields
25. Standards Support and Federation
• We support DCat (and helped define it!). Run the IATI Registry.
• Sophisticated harvesting and federation
allows interoperability and metadata sharing between
catalogs
• E.g. publicdata.eu harvests over 15 EU catalogs into one central
portal
