The challenge of internal data management for the public sector
This video talks about how open source software like CKAN can be made highly secure by setting up policies, organisational roles, and infrastructure to effectively manage data availability, usability, quality, and security for governments at all levels.
The challenge of internal data management
In addition to powering open data portals, the open source software known as CKAN—the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network – is playing an increasing role in helping organisations with their internal data management. It is doing this principally through powering what are known as internal data management platforms. The following article will briefly examine this and how your organisation can maximise the benefits of CKAN to meet your internal data management needs.
An internal data management platform efficiently and securely gathers and stores the data assets an organisation has at its disposal in one central on-line location. It then enables these to be catalogued and managed over their life cycle, including sharing them with internal users and external collaborators and agencies, within a highly controlled and secure environment.
Government departments, corporations, universities and large not-for-profits can use internal data management platforms to solve the challenges arising from the expanding mass of data they collect; how to extract knowledge and benefit from this data to help inform business decisions and drive research or more evidence informed policy making, and to share it effectively and securely, internally and externally.
Link Digital has implemented multiple instances of internal data portals worldwide.
