CKAN Catalogue Implementation

Data Integration
Systems Integration

OUR ROLE

We were engaged as solution architects and system integrators to assist the Department in analysing the data hub requirements, designing high-level solution components, assessing solution options for the solution components, providing recommendations for each component and documenting the detailed design of the end-to-end solution. We were also tasked to deliver the data catalogue components of the solution.

CHALLENGE

Solution uses different technologies and consists of multiple applications and subsystems. The project involved multiple business and technical teams that we were required to engage with and keep informed. Open-Source Software (OSS) that was selected for the data catalogue component, required new custom extensions and customisation to meet the Department’s requirements.

OUR APPROACH

In our engagement, YNOT worked closely with various business and technical teams from the Department to understand and validate the project requirements, analyse potential options, implement Proof of Concepts for some options & recommendations, document the detailed design of the solution architecture, and implemented the data catalogue components of the solution.

OUTCOME/BENEFITS

Release one of the public data catalogues was successfully deployed to production on time, and we worked closely with the project team to implement Release 2 as scheduled..
