Publish data

Thank you for sharing!

If you have public records or data you want to share more broadly, there are a few ways to go! Make sure to share your published data when you're done.

• JKAN (for smaller agencies) and CKAN (for larger ones) are two open-source data portals which need to be set up by someone with some technical skills.

• DocumentCloud can be used for publishing PDFs, and has additional tools for recognizing text (OCR) and annotation. You will need to request verification to publish documents.

• Your town or region may have an open data portal (here's Pittsburgh's) which may be interested in publishing the data you have.

• A service like Dropbox can be used to share folders of documents in bulk, with fewer tools for keeping them organized or labeled.

If this is overwhelming, don't worry—we're experts in sharing data. Email [e-mail] for a free consultation.
