Our first instinct is to use [CKAN](https://ckan.org) for cataloging (and storage, with modifications), especially since we know it and know that it has been used successfully elsewhere. However, we suspect that more specialized/better tools exist for this, thus why I kindly ask for your insights.

We publish all our data on the [Data Portal](https://data.nhm.ac.uk), a Museum project that's been running since 2014. Instead of MediaWiki it runs on an open-source Python framework called [CKAN](https://ckan.org), which is designed for hosting datasets - though we've had to adapt it in various ways so that it can handle such large amounts of data.
