Datami

A customizable open source widget to visualize and edit open datasets, without any other backend than Github or Gitlab.

Imagine you are a business, a public institution, or non-profit organization and you regularly produce datasets you would like to share and to valorize ; you produce datasets but you would like to make them become true digital commons. It could be complicated for you to share those data on your website in a pleasant and intuitive way, and it could be even more complicated to invite your community to contribute to it : either you don’t have enough money to invest in a proprietary solution, or you lack time or skills to do so…

Datami is a 100% open source project allowing you to generate and configure datavisualization widgets on top of open datasets, but also to make possible for anyone to contribute to them.

With Datami you can visualize open datasets as interactive cards, tables, maps or graphs. Datami also allows you to open your datasets to contributions - without asking users to create any account - but keeping the dataset producers’ ability to moderate such contributions .

Datami uses Github or Gitlab as its “backend”, so all the moderation tools you will need to curate contributions already exist thanks to Github’s or Gitlab’s API !

As Datami works as a web component you can integrate Datami in any website, and fine-tune its configuration directly in the page’s html.

Datami is 100% free to use : the source code can be deployed once, but any widget calling the deployed code can be configured independently.
