Data.Gov.UK is the UK Government’s official open data portal. The site provides a central “way into the wealth of government data” and aims to make that data “easy to find; easy to license; and easy to re-use.” Data.Gov.UK was launched in closed Beta at the start of October 2009 and entered public beta in January 2010.

Data.Gov.UK has been built on a combination of CKAN and Drupal, the open-source CMS. The Open Knowledge Foundation’s CKAN team have been involved in the development of Data.Gov.UK from its inception. The team helped developed the prototype for the closed beta launch and have been involved in developing and maintaining the project, especially the CKAN aspect, since that point.
