Publishing open data considering quality criteria

Abstract:

Open data is considered a mechanism of democratization in the access to information generated by public sector organizations and for the development of digital services generated by the infomediary sector. However, this trend has presented some barriers ranging from the insufficient quality of the data published to the lack of maintenance of the portals where they are published. This research carries out an analysis of the state of the issue in the field of open data, as well as of international standards and best practices in data quality in order to propose a frame of reference that enables the publication of open data with an adequate level of quality. The framework of reference was validated using a case study using action research methodology.
