Abstract

Over the past few years number of public sector data catalogs started to exist. These data catalogs cover data from different levels of the public sector and they represent results of both volunteer activity and government policy. In this paper we present our experience from cataloging of the Czech public sector data using software Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) and based on this experience we propose generic model of data cataloging tool features. Content of the Czech CKAN is a result of the academic initiative and thus it is an unofficial catalog of datasets provided by the Czech public sector bodies. Despite the limited scope of the cataloging activity it provided valuable information about available datasets provided by the Czech public sector and the results can help future cataloging initiatives.
