Open Development Cambodia (ODC) transformed from a program into non-governmental organizations and launched its second phase. ODC operates a website that serves as a one-stop shop for Cambodian data to help with planning, managing the economy, and disaster preparedness. The website utilizes open source platforms like WordPress, CKAN for data management, and GeoServer for spatial data. It faces challenges of integrating these components, supporting multiple languages, and being responsive across different devices.

4.  Platform system of open sources
◦ CMS (Wordpress Multiple Network)
◦ CKAN (Data Hub Management)
◦ Geoserver (Spatial Data Management)
 Usability of the system: simplicity
for low-tech staff to “add, update
and manage” easily

5.  The integration
◦ Components will be integrated side-by-side in the
architecture.

6.  Support the languages localization
◦ All the functionalities on the site must develop to
be able to support multilingual content.
 The multi-platform challenge (Compatibility)
◦ The web apps must adapt to the device on which
it’s viewed that including cross-browser
compatibility, screen sizes, ratios and pixel density
vary between devices. Otherwise, non-responsive
platform will impair to the user experience

7.  Search Engines Functionalities on the site
◦ Have a lot of datasets and contents on the sites
◦ Enhance the searching function to be effective
 Present and Manage Spatial Dataset/Database
◦ Limited characters of Shapefile’s attribute (255)
◦ Publishing the larg size of map layers
◦ Loading the large size of layers on Map explorer

8. Non-technical challenges
 Nouveau concept of Open Data movement in
Cambodia, and GMS countries;
 Limited availability and access to the open data: Gov’t,
IOs, INGO/NGO and private sector;
 Constraints by legal and political environment.
