About the application
Open Data Editor is the new app developed by Open Knowledge Foundation that makes it easier for people with little to no technical skills to work with data. It helps users validate and describe their data in no time, increasing the quality of the data they produce and consume. It is being developed in the context of Frictionless Data, an initiative at OKFN producing a collection of standards and software for the publication, transport, and consumption of data.
