Hacia un Ecosistema de Datos Abiertos: Una guía pa-rala provincia de Río Negro

Abstract

Currently, open data is key by making large volumes of information available free of charge and with licenses that allow its use and redistribution. The 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 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, government agencies have begun to publish 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 different concepts, methodologies, benefits, and challenges, and reviews best practices and lessons learned from international, national, and subnational open data initiatives. This will allow for 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, contributing to the overarching goal of a citizen-centered digital transformation and provincial development, will be analyzed.
