About the Open Knowledge Foundation

The Open Knowledge Foundation has been a pioneer in the field of open
data since its inception in 2004. It works in a wide array of areas
from sonnets to statistics, genes to geodata. Its open-source CKAN software powers http://data.gov.uk/,
http://thedatahub.org/ and dozens of other open data hubs around the
world. For more information about the Foundation see http://okfn.org/
