Why Organisations Are Pairing Drupal with CKAN for Open Data Management

Drupal: why organisations should use it as part of their open data management

Organizations seeking to manage and present large data repositories are increasingly turning to Drupal, writes Andrew Nette on Link Digital. Often used alongside CKAN, a data catalogue platform, Drupal enhances the user experience by offering interactive, visually appealing ways to manage and present content. Its flexibility, scalability, and ability to integrate with external systems make it a popular choice for governments, non-profits, and research institutions. 

Link Digital has successfully implemented Drupal for projects like the Canadian Watershed Information Network and the Pacific Data Hub, allowing users to access and interact with complex datasets more efficiently. The company also developed the CKAN Sync for Drupal module to address integration challenges, enabling smoother collaboration between the two systems. The article highlights Drupal’s wide-ranging functionalities and its role in open data management solutions.
