“…Moreover, the capacity to interpret open data is essential to exploring and understanding the actual value of data [14]. However, in previous works, we found that OGDPs still need to support the user in interpreting the available data, even an audience with extensive data science skills [4]. Also, we point out that currently, OGDPs need to implement more computational tools to efficiently support citizens in interpreting the available data [4].…”

Open government data initiatives have been rising quickly in recent times. They are encouraged by a wish to democratize data access and knowledge production and enhance cities socially and economically. The hardship of interpreting data can be considered an obstacle to using open government data and more prominent citizen engagement. Technology is crucial to enhance data interpretability and the practical construction of an open government. Nevertheless, the literature needed an instrument to support open government data's interpretability. In this work, our primary goal is to present the definition, implementation, and evaluation of a framework named Hippolyta, which is qualified to help citizens to interpret open government data. Hippolyta first identifies the citizen's necessities using a semantic enrichment module. After this step, the framework conducts the data collection through the same data retrieval module. Finally, Hippolyta creates a graphic visualization through a data visualization module. This study is relevant since it furnishes comprehensive insights into what the open data interpretability concept is composed of and which framework modules can sustain open data interpretation.

O uso de portais de Dados Governamentais Abertos (Open Government Data – OGD) tem apresentado um crescimento acelerado nos últimos anos e com ele também aumentaram vários problemas. Para mitigar esses problemas, como alternativa, a Governança de Dados (Data Governance – DG) é apresentada nos estudos desta pesquisa. O principal objetivo deste trabalho consiste em realizar uma análise da literatura para discutir como a DG pode apoiar na mitigação dos principais problemas e barreiras de uso apresentados em portais de OGD. Pudemos analisar inicialmente que ainda há a presença de problemas em portais de OGD. As abordagens para mitigá-los são discutidas, bem como as boas práticas a serem adotadas e lições aprendidas.

“…To carry out any study, it is necessary to know what a variable measures and how it has been measured. Data files should provide well-structured, organized, and detailed metadata that are of high quality and ensure the correct and appropriate interpretation of the data (Barcellos;Bernardini;Viterbo, 2022), so that the data can be understood and used by other researchers (Kubler et al, 2018;Wu;Ma;Zhang, 2021).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for governments and health administrations at all levels to have an open data registry that facilitates decision-making in the planning and management of health resources and provides information to citizens on the evolution of the epidemic. The concept of “open data” includes the possibility of reutilization by third parties. Space and time are basic dimensions used to structure and interpret the data of the variables that refer to the health status of the people themselves. Hence, the main objective of this study is to evaluate whether the autonomous communities’ data files regarding Covid-19 are reusable to analyze the evolution of the disease in basic spatial and temporal analysis units at the regional and national levels. To this end, open data files containing the number of diagnosed cases of Covid-19 distributed in basic health or administrative spatial units and temporal units were selected from the portals of the Spanish autonomous communities. The presence of infection-related, demographic, and temporal variables, as well as the download format and metadata, were mainly evaluated. Whether the structure of the files was homogeneous and adequate for the application of spatial analysis techniques was also analyzed. The results reveal a lack of standardization in the collection of data in both spatial and temporal units and an absence of, or ambiguity in, the meaning of the variables owing to a lack of metadata. An inadequate structure was also found in the files of seven autonomous communities, which would require subsequent processing of the data to enable their reuse and the application of analysis and spatial modeling techniques, both when carrying out global analyses and when comparing patterns of evolution between different regions.
