ckan Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) Software The CKAN software is used to run the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) site: http://www.ckan.net. The Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network is a registry of open knowledge packages and projects (and a few closed ones). CKAN is the place to search for open knowledge resources as well as register your own - be that a set of Shakespeare's works, a global population density database, the voting records of MPs, or 30 years of US patents. Those familiar with freshmeat or CPAN can think of CKAN as providing an analogous service for open knowledge. Open Knowledge Foundation f8216b5c7ba64e7f851906680a23e14a8a6c0973 0.5
