"CKAN customised schemas have allowed us to be searchable by Google data set searches and other global partners, which is key to the findability of our data sets. Flexibility with user permissions and our customised templates allow us to provide data sovereignty to our users and give them granular control over their data."

Head, Digital Strategy, Centre for Earth Observation Science, Faculty of Environment, Earth and Resources, University of Manitoba

"When we started looking for data portals, we wanted something that did most of what we wanted out of the box, and which didn’t lock us to a specific provider. CKAN was pretty much the only one we found."
