CKAN Showcase allows organizations to highlight how their datasets are being used in the real world by creating showcase pages that link datasets to applications, websites, visualizations, reports, and other implementations. Each showcase can include descriptions, images, tags, and external links, providing context about dataset usage and promoting data reuse. The extension includes a comprehensive admin interface for managing showcases, user permission systems for showcase administrators, and discovery features that help users find related datasets and applications. Showcases can be filtered by tags and searched, making it easy to discover both datasets and their practical applications. This promotes transparency and demonstrates the value of open data initiatives.
