A data portal is an online platform which supports users in accessing collections of data. Typical data portals present the data of the organisation which hosts the portal.<\/h5>\n

Our methodological\u00a0 Approach<\/h4>\n

Building an open data portal requires a methodological approach to the development process.<\/p>\n

Front-End Development<\/strong><\/p>\n

A simple, user-centered home page is the bedrock of any data portal. It should have\u00a0clear access points\u00a0to the various functions of your website and be\u00a0accessible to any user.<\/p>\n

Back-End Development<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some general best practices we follow for creating an effective open data portal backend.<\/p>\n

Search and Filtering<\/em><\/p>\n

Implement some\u00a0way to filter and search datasets\u00a0on your website. This may require backend database structuring or can be done on the frontend.<\/p>\n

Dataset Storage<\/em><\/p>\n

Datasets can be stored in the cloud\u00a0with Amazon Web Services (S3), Microsoft Azure (Azure Blob), Google Cloud (GCS) or another provider or utilize your own server and store datasets locally.<\/p>\n

Metadata Storage<\/em><\/p>\n

A relatively convenient structure for an open data portal is to\u00a0store metadata in a separate file from your datasets. This enables you to query your metadata and populate a dataset listings page without having to get all your datasets.<\/p>\n

Permissions\/Authentication System<\/em><\/p>\n

Only authorized users should be able to update metadata and datasets\u00a0regardless of how or where you store them. Such a permissions system can be as simple as storing your metadata in a Google Sheet that is shared with only a specific set of people and having a similar setup in AWS or another datastore for your datasets.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”71477″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1475090169514{margin-top: 6px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”71477″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”#eeeeee” type=”normal” thickness=”1″ up=”” down=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” css=”.vc_custom_1462132651151{padding-top: 50px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
