Gobernanza de Datos Abiertos: Diseño de una guía estratégica para la provincia de Río Negro

Abstract

Currently, the open data movement is key by making large volumes of information freely available to the public under licenses that permit its use and redistribution. The main objective of this work is to design a strategy for the adoption of open data that allows its integration into an Open Data Portal for the province of Río Negro. This work is part of the research project “A Data Governance Framework for Digital Transformation in the Province of Río Negro,” developed at the Applied Informatics Laboratory, Atlantic Campus, National University of Río Negro. Since the approval of the Open Data Plan (Decree 117/2016) and the Law on Access to Public Information (Law 27.275) at the national level, a growing number of government agencies have begun to publish their data in order to promote transparency and facilitate citizen access to reusable information. Considering the Río Negro Province Data Governance Bill and the guidelines of the research project “Data Governance for Digital Transformation,” this paper discusses the different concepts, methodologies, benefits, and challenges, and reviews best practices and lessons learned from international, national, and subnational open data initiatives. This will enable the development of a guide for publishing open data in Río Negro. In this context, the role of open data as a key resource and its potential to generate sustainable value will be analyzed, contributing to the broader goal of a digital transformation focused on citizens and provincial development.
